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

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....

Note—I did not listen to audio, but the images are incredible. Ford Arcadian 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.
