The 2015 Model of the Year contest was hard fought. This year was the time the choice for Model of the Year came down to a tiebreaker vote.

Congrats Matt. What paint did you use for the blue spinner? What did you use for decal setting solution? They took really well, I wouldn't be surprised if you masked and painted the markings.

Thank you guys. The blue spinner was done with Tamiya acrylics, mix of Sky Blue and Medium Gray. All of the markings were masked and sprayed on to take advantage of the surface detail

Awesome. Did you make your own masks like I do, or did you have them made? I'm especially curious about the checkerboard

I used the Maketar set of masks for this kit. Worked really well
