Phildaupho Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 This Red Lobster March 83G was built from the Formula Canada curbside resin kit I had in my stash for about 25 years. The big lobster decals over the top needed lots of Solva Set to conform then after a couple of days reacted badly to Tamiya Clear so a major recovery process was required involving lots more clear, sanding and then more clear. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Rivard Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Wonderful build and looking at the 25 year old huge lobster decal...must have been scary to get this one on the body. The livery of that car just brings a smile to my face. Beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone. There were some other great looking liveries on 83G's but the Red Lobster was my favourite. I remember back in the day there were no Red Lobster restaurants at least on the west coast of Canada. On a trip to the USA I found one and had dinner. The marketing worked !! Now that the model is together I wish I had got the front end a bit lower but at this point I would probably damage it if I tried to fix it.

Yes John the decals did cause me to seat bullets and I am amazed they turned out as you see them. I thought I had totally blown it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
