eheh Doc, for the first one I am assembling I would like to keep all closed to feel the pleasure of its shape
and here enclosed are some pictures of the gulf livery done by me.
Fujimis decals are very good looking ones, just maybe they become too fragile when u try work on theme.
The Gulf livery itself needs (obviously) u paint part of theme, and so u have to cover part of decals already placed with some tape.
That was the main problem..cause also using the most delicate adhesive tape...u anyway will delete some decals form their side....and can happen u als seriously damage theme.
I was quite lucky,just damaged some black lines on roof and front bumper, and so replaced with fine black stripes done by myself.
Probably the using of Gunze sangyo Mark softer helps also.
Another big problem was to fing a "real" azure gulf for the livery.
Inside decal sheets they suggest to use no. 45 of gunze acrylic range...and I did it......but the result on the model was exactly ex Simon Winter blue (Simon..u wellknow I loved that blue now in france
and was tempted to make a clone of your old car....
I deleted all, keep an h45 and add a full pure white H1 mixing theme,and so finally I had a good looking Gulf blue( I use as referring color the ones of the already finished geetees I have here for sale).
I also started to make some painting tests on alloy wheels (unfortunately for me I deeply love black wheels cars...maybe better if flat black
..but this is a 1075..and seems that had orange ones.).
Now my documentation lacks a little...I saw some nice gulf ones have a rear metal spoiler(and really wider wider wheels..)...dunno if 1075 had this.
...going on working right now
