  12. Thanks, Rich. Got to love dash decals!
  13. Great looking Aston martin. Very well done making in a stock-ish DB5. I, too, have been turned away from this kit as I thought the James Bond stuff made it too much like a toy.
  14. Thanks, guys. Glad you liked it. @Pierre RivardI think I remember seeing your build and thinking that I should probably finish mine. @TonyK You're welcome. Hope it helped.
  15. Thanks, guys. @1959scudetto Yes, I'm just glad i had a spare, and that the Indycal decal was the same size as the Tamiya one.
  16. Fantastic looking Freightliner. Very well done.
  17. Finished up my 1/24 Tamiya 1976 Porsche 934 RSR Turbo today: All is all it's a decent kit; however, it is missing the Dunlop tire decals & some contingency stickers, so Indycals to the rescue! The kit went together well, and it does look like a Porsche 934 (so that's a good thing), and I get that Tamiya probably didn't want to pay Shell & Dunlop royalties (or they didn't get permission), so I'm ok with that; but I do have an issue with the headlights in this kit. I would really like to know what idiot at Tamiya decided that it would be a good idea to mold the headlamp lenses & the bezels as one piece on the clear tree? Seriously! This couldn't have been engineered differently? Must have been some aircraft modeler. They like masking little, clear parts; or so I'm told. Other than that, and the black trim, the build was pretty straight forward. Typical Tamiya. Everything fit where it was supposed to, and stayed for, for the most part. The only other issue I had was with the black body trim. Even with Tamiya tape, the lines aren't very crisp, and even though I had three coats of clear over the decals, the Tamiya tape still ripped the Jägermeister decal off of the passenger door. Good thing I had a spare. All in all, I am pleased with how it came out. Would I have been better with the Revell of Germany Porsche 934 RSR? Maybe, but when I was looking to purchase a 934, I had had such a horrible time with the most recent reissue of the Revell/Fujimi 1970 Porsche 917KH that I was a little turned off from Revell kits. Kit is painted in Tamiya Orange TS-12 with three coats of Tamiya Clear TS-13 (except the passenger door, apparently ). I tried to get as close to what the car would have looked like in the 1976 season of the Deutsche Rennsport Meisterschaft, but period photos are contradictory so it's a best guess. Decals are a combination of Tamiya & Indycals. Oddly, I only took one interior photo for some reason.
