Ford Capri - Zakspeed

Tamiya kit, re-issued about 7 years ago with Cartograph decals. Being an older kit, not much detail underneath but offset by this beautiful one-piece body moulding. For the first time ever, I didn't use primer and sprayed Tamiya Gloss Black straight onto the bare body. A mist coat followed by two wet coats produced this finish, no sanding necessary other than a couple of dust bunnies after the first wet coat (another first LOL). Many hours of decalling later I have reached this stage....for some reason it took about 5 minutes in the water before the decals would slide off the sheet

Good start!! I like that kit.....simple as it is. I used aftermarket Jagermister (sp?) decals as I love orange cars!!!

Looks awesome Phil.

Looks great, that'll be a stand out when completed!

I personally hate decal work, so I know how hard it can be, good work!

I remember those cars from the 80's, was great contenders in the endurance formula. Great start!

Very colorful. Nice job with the decals.

A little progress, added some masking tape seatbelts to the rather basic interior

A bit more work and here's how it sits right now
