Michael jones Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Tamiya Mazda 787B - done. It was a big challenge, but I enjoyed the build. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacho Z Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Love it!! It looks like you did an outstanding job on this one. I personally love doing decals. They certainly can be a challenge. How was this one as far as the decals fitting and settling down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael jones Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Gidday, Thanks for the comments. The decals were not so bad (a couple I had trouble with). All the colours were painted on btw. The main issue is getting the body onto the chassis at the front (warped), and also the wheelbase or gap between wheel arches are different on each side which was tricky to fix.

Roncla Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 The rotary has got a following down under for sure. You've done that kit justice and it looks a treat. Its long overdue for Tamiya to re release that kit too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Eh? Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 A fantastic job on Mazda's "giant killer". i especially like the fact that all colour was painted. May I ask whose paint did you use? Zero, Gravity, Tamiya, or other? The colours look spot on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gidday, I used Gaianotes fluro orange (basecoat was Tamiya Orange - cant remember the number), Tamiya light green TS22, Tamiya black and Alclad ALC101 aluminium. Then 2k clear, decals and then 2k clear again. The colours suggested in the instructions are way off BTW.
