majel Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I agree with Steven, like all Tamiya models this one goes together real well with no fitment issues. Yours is coming together really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4mula1fan Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Looks great! It's a good kit to pick the details out. I built one years ago and have one in my stash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4mula1fan Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Are they the transfer type? It's been so long, I can't remember. They are a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4mula1fan Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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