well, what can I say here, There certainly is room for improvement. First of all: Keep your hands as clean as possible all the time. I don't know what paint you used, but if acrylics which I recommend for starters, than simple water is enough to wipe away excess paint from the body anyway (when it is still wet). What you may also try to do is mask part of the bonnet, to get a straight line along the front part.

For decal application (like on the NASCAR) you may want to use a hairdryer to make them settle better. Heat softens the decals and they will adjust better to rounded areas. Being in a haste with decal application, you should never be, as it takes a while for them to fully dry. When finish one side of the car, put it away for a day, before starting on the other side. But anyways: Keep on building

My models looked like that 3 years ago-I've built probably about 30 more and I'm very satisfyed with my building now. I'm not Dino, but my models are usually good enought to look factory made. I think that as you get older not only will you improve in modelling, but motor skilly too.

The Cougar looks like a Baghdad taxi, but I'm betting my model building skills wouldn't get a better result, so what the hell!
