Gt fan Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I'm back to work on trying to finish up my challenge car. The chassis is just about done ,only a few things to add to the motor. The decals are a bit on the thick side and need a BUNCH of decal set to get them to wrap around the nose. Hope too have this done by the weekend and on too something else.

jaymcminn Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Beautiful work. Your decal work and detailing is really bringing the generally so-so Fujimi kit to life. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

droogie Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Nice work. I'm building this same kit and I have a question. What are the tire lettering markings provided in the kit? Dry transfers or decals? They're on a separate sheet from the other decals and the instructions are kind of vague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gt fan Posted January 8, 2017 Author Share Posted January 8, 2017 They are water release transfer, like some of the Tamiya kits. There is a small thin sheet attached to the cardboard stock . Cut out the logo , wet the tire with a Q-tip, lay down the transfer and wet the release paper with the Q-tip the logo will lift off on to the tire. I just lightly give it a touch of decal set after it starts to dry. I took out the threaded tires and replaced them with slicks. I hope this helps you out.

Taxdude Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Very nice. I built a similar one a few years ago. Nice kit goes together without any drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalhead Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 I'm currently building one as well. Going to make mine a police tribute car. All black with a thin blue line going on top of the body off to the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gt fan Posted January 11, 2017 Author Share Posted January 11, 2017 You should do the wheels black with a thin blue line . Like a redline . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
