ClayK Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Finally wrapped up my first of the new-ish Tamiya AMG GT3 kits. The fit and ease these go together is amazing. I had a few issues, but most were my own fault. I've got one more in my stash and I will know better what to do on it. I used Gravity Mercedes silver, Omni clear. Then I decaled it with Alps decals I drew and printed myself. Once the decals were dry I covered them with one thin coat of Omni, then polished out any imperfections. Finally I sprayed the whole body and wing with Testors Dull Cote to dull down the finish to match the 1:1 Benz. I also did a little bit of carbon fiber decaling here and there. Overall a fantastic kit! They look so cool all built up. I will definitely build another.

GoatGuy Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Terrific job Clay. I would love to go see these cars in action. Question - were the kit decals bad or just different from what you needed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
