Looks good, I really like this kit, it went together really well when I built mine.

I agree with Steven, like all Tamiya models this one goes together real well with no fitment issues.  Yours is coming together really nice.

Looks great! It's a good kit to pick the details out. I built one years ago and have one in my stash.

Love the kit and ALMOST complete. No luck with the tire decals !!!

They are fiddly and a pain in the drain.

Maybe I am missing something but mine were printed wrong side out on the paper. Was I missing something?

Are they the transfer type? It's been so long, I can't remember. They are a pain.

I did not see a way to transfer the and the did slide after soaking.

Seems like I did cut the paper very close to the letters and positioned them carefully on the tires. Like I said, a real pain.

If they are wrong side out they are probably transfers.  I've had several old kits with these and once they dry out they don't seem to want to stick anymore.  I usually end up using regular decals from the stash.

That was likely the case but I found no instructions on using them. I have always used IndyCals but the Michelin is not available.

Thanks , Mike

Coming along nicely.  One of my favorite car models - like others here, I too have built this one way back.  Beautiful car as well.
