How do you like the 2012 Lotus decal set that is less "gold" than the 2011 set? I guess the 2012 decals are more accurate in color from what I've read.
Thank You! Didn't have enough time to finish those side wings, but they'll be ready for the next race.
Brad did an excellent job with 2012 Lotus decal set! I must say I was affraid of applying long lines but it was OK.
Speaking of color accurancy, it's hard to say. Maybe I'm wrong but from pictures and TV it looks that Lotus has a special color that looks sometimes darker and sometimes lighter (see attachment) and same is the situation with red color on wings (I used Tamiya Ferrari paint on mirrors and gloves and vinyl sticker on wings). Decals are pretty similar to the "lighter (brighter) version". My picture could look too light (almost white) but it is actually more like cream or sand. Visibility on track is good aswell, so I like the stickers.
