Bit of bleed in front of the windscreen. Touch up or remove the stripes from this bit?
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/0/8/5/1460085-18207-89-720.jpg)
Happy with the masking on the side stripes

Went with a blue grey after being unhappy with my oranges and yellows. Wasn’t going to risk it

Added a vinyl roof from masking tape
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/7/8/8/1465788-18207-14-720.jpg)
Tools for the vinyl roof. A steel rule, sharp knife and some black masking tape
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/7/7/9/1465779-18207-44-720.png)
This is the masking tape I used. I am sure there are others that will work as well
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/7/8/6/1465786-18207-31-720.jpg)
It already has a nice texture to it
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/7/8/3/1465783-18207-78-720.jpg)
I needed to make it a little narrower hence the rule. Then place it centrally on the roof with overlap on front and back
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/7/8/2/1465782-18207-30-720.jpg)
Using a blunt tool press the edges into the ridges that define the windows / chrome trim. Then using that as a guide cut off the excess
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/7/8/4/1465784-18207-42-720.jpg)
When trimmed you get the centre piece done
![Album image #19 Album image #19](/albums/img/7/8/5/1465785-18207-97-720.jpg)
Add one of the sides. The overlap represents what is seen on the original. Keep this uniform
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/7/8/7/1465787-18207-95-720.jpg)
Add some cuts to make it easier to make the tape confirm to the curves
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/7/8/0/1465780-18207-21-720.jpg)
Then press in and cut as per the centre section. I didn’t follow the correct line on the rear pillar.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/7/8/1/1465781-18207-63-720.jpg)
It should have been nearer the glass.
I have removed the tape and would start again

Rod, Kyle, welcome on board. I think this will be a quick build given the low parts count.
Just need to get the main colour sorted. Had some issues with all my oranges yesterday. Might have to go a different route

Thanks mates.
Jv, Kyle this is my first attempt at a vinyl roof and I am already looking at future builds to see which ones could have one.
Christian the colour is photographic reconnaissance unit (PRU) blue. This version is.Vallejo air and is the faded variety. It is a pivot away from orange I had planned but I really like it

Thanks all for the kind words so far.
@ Istvan it was really simple. I will pull something together over the weekend

For anyone interested I have added a simple guide showing how I did the vinyl roof

With wedge chassis - nice,. Fine car.
Thanks for the guide. Good idea. I can confirm an overlap.
