The 1/12th Italeri - Protar kit. I don't recommend it, it's not accurate and very little fits right, but if you want a 1/12th (like me), it's the only option.
It comes with carbon fibre decals, just not all of them. I made my own. After a lot of experimenting I came up with some sheets printed on clear film, they are semi-transparent.
They give the texture but the base colour shows through.
For the brown part I applied them over the kit decal.
The chassis parts fit is horrible, lots of tweaking needed
Things had to be bent to fit, but it worked
The floor pan had my decals applied over German Grey, it ended up with the effect I wanted.
Finished chassis

This is once again proving that it's the modeler and not the model that prevails even over the toughest of kits. Beautiful work on this car Paul. You get the "Most Patient Man of the Year Award" for this one brother!!!

Another beauty Paul. And I love the effect you achieved with your homemade decals. This turned out wonderfully.

Very nice!!! It looks great! I've come to the conclusion that Italeri kits are crap.
