maltsr Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) This is the R of G kit. the decals didn't respond well to setting solutions and had to use an aftermarket carbon fibre decal sheet for the roof and sidescoops. Paint is Tamiya Orange under clear pearl. Edited July 6, 2017 by maltsr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelson Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Great work,this kit is on my to buy list,how did it all go together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltsr Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 Great work,this kit is on my to buy list,how did it all go together?Thanks Curtis. The kit went together well, no issues to report other than my difficulties with the decals. When fitting the body over the chassis, the dashboard goes above the lip in the cowl area, this isn't mentioned in the instructions. The Scale Modelling channel on YouTube has a build review which is worth watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim N Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Really nice looking model! If I may offer one suggestion: Micro Sol and Micro Set are supposed to be used together. The solution in the blue labelled bottle is applied to the plastic (Micro Sol I believe) and then the solution in the red labelled bottle goes on the decal (Micro Set I believe). I am away from my workbench, so I am not certain of the names on the bottles, but the order they are applied is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought they were used alphabetically! Edited June 12, 2017 by maltsr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-bone Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 You are correct Paul. Micro Set on the model and then apply Micro Sol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
