Finally a bit more progress to show. Sadly the pictures I made were lost when the CF card died on my... it also took all the pictures of the first free practice session for this years Le Mans 24 hours 🙁

ouch 🤔! The decal job so far looks amazing. I'm sure this is not the easiest decal session in your modeling career 🙂

Not the easiest, but so far the Ken Block Fiesta isn't beaten in terms of difficulty 😉

Well, most of the black and white's are on, just the ones over the louvres over the front wheels to go (and the rear-wing, but that's for later). After that I can put the red-white-blue stpring, race-nummers, etc on.

All the decals are now on the body! Only the rear-wing to do, but that should be a breeze compared to the body 😉
