IJ001 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Tamiya kit straight from the box. Fell together with very little input from me, Decals were a revelation, was expecting all sorts of problems and some considerable swearing but they went-on without a hitch. Please feel free to make any criticism, comment or ask any questions. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majel Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Very nice work! Seeing the decals, I too would expect large amounts of swearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Beautiful job. What technique did you use to enhance the panel lines? They're just right, and really help make the model look real Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just right, and really help make the model look real Pretty easy, Bill - I borrowed Tom Rujter's idea of deepening the panel lines with a scriber tool but then I added a thinned 'panel wash' - you can use Tamiya pre-mixed panel line accenter or simply mix your own with thinned (Paynes Grey) oil paint. I use both methods - try it on an old 'test bed' before you commit to next build tho' !! *** Thanks for the great feedback folks. Ian.

89AKurt Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Very nice job. To complete this kit deserves big praise. I have the kit, along with all the Scale Motorsport details, and prototype c-f decals. Scared to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscoRover007 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Great job. What clear did you use for the decals? I have this kit as well. Trying to make the street version. Only thing that is bothering me about is that the rear bumper should actually be blended into the hood piece like on the real car. The real panel line is just above the taillight. Would take a good amount of work to make it look right. Edited February 13, 2018 by DiscoRover007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
