looks bad ***, are those tails overlays or painted? If you did overlays and a spoiler in an hour that's mind bogglingly fast.

Thanks, I painted them using Infantry1327 instructions, with some adjustments.

The backup light is not a perfect circle I created my own template and used 3 coats of Testor's window tint spray, and installed the wing while the lights where drying.

Good work! What's up with the tail? It does seem too high.

Correct!, no clear coat, I didn't want a matte look.

I just did LBC's overlays this weekend. He's got some good overlays, cost me $35 (in canada), got them to me fast and offered lots of help.

LBC Overlays are HERE! GTR NOW AVAILABLE!
