I agree on the matt finish idea for the trousers, even if they are supposed to be representing leather. Now it looks like he is standing in the rain 😉 I had the same situation when I built the 1/12 Yamaha YZR500 with driver Kenny Roberts or the 1/12 Honda NS500 with driver Freddie Spencer, and I also ended up putting a matt finish on the driver figures, which is a lot more realistic in my opinion...

I have a question for you Steve. I see that you will use the Tamiya 1/20 Motorsport Team Set. I also know that you build Ferrari models most of the time. So I dare to ask you if you are planning on using the Team Lotus JPS decal part, because I am looking for that item to use on my E.Jan driver figure of Mario Andretti. The decals which are included in the E.Jan figure are those of 1969-1970, but I want to build the Lotus 79 JPS with Andretti, and I know that the decals on the sheet that you have are the correct ones... 🙂

Yer! know Guy...
It's funny! I've always said that modelling is about fooling the eye...
I've been examining your picture of Kenny in red, as it's more obvious than dear old Freddie. You're right, the matt/satin finish is more leather like, I think it's down to that scale belief again. Great Models BTW8)!!!
