Although... the powder blue on this Gulf GT 40 looks spot on!

Not so handy search-function though on their pages...

50 shades in Blue

That is the one! Thank you so much for the reminder as well as the link, Kari! I think I need to see your build again for reference now! The light blue....

Kinda leaning towards this one... not only is it a winner, it’s battle-scarred front end is just... real to me as well as a real modeling challenge—it looks like brown or beige cloth held down with black duct tape at up to 200 mph... and how do I make 1/16 duct tape?

What you first posted was interesting, Kari. Look at the test spoon for Gulf Porsche 917, perhaps the same formula but with a sample it seems different somehow, less bite to the blue.

Whadda thread!!! Love it all the way through.

I went to see Solo as well. Loved it. After you watch it you view him ALOT differently in the rest of the Star Wars episodes with him in it.
