Scale-Master Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 An out of the box build using Tamiya paints throughout, even right from the can in several circumstances. I started this a good six months ago, but was interrupted many times by many things. While this is not a simple model to build, it is rewarding if you have the patience to take your time. It's the delicacy of some of the parts that can be frustrating, especially when you forget about little details from an earlier building episode, (not a fault of the kit). A tip to anyone who is looking to build one, the TS-76 Mica Silver is a great match for the silver on the decal sheet. And go easy with the solvent. Some is needed, to make the decals conform, but they get gooey very quickly even with mild decal solvents. - Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick F40 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Wow this is really nice, very clean. This is so nice, still when they looked half decent and without those stupid wheel covers. I think I like the OZ's better. I have the LEGO version of this car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Thanks guys. I am pretty sure I used TS-42 Light Gunmetal Gray for the wheels. It is probably called out in the instructions too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
