Very nice! The vivid paint scheme really accentuates the body lines.

It does look nice.

Is the fade from red through yellow to white painted?

I'd imagine it's not all decals, the whole car would have to be wrapped.

None of the fade is decals, it's all done with an airbrush and Testors enamels.

Getting the fade on smoothly AND along the right path is very tough. Fine job!

Always like the Tide sponsored color scheme and you pulled it off with perfection. Great build!

Those are kit decals, with a few contingency updates from my stash.
