Here's a Tamiya kit I finished earlier this month. I painted it with Tamiya gloss black spray from the can.

I love Porsches and yours is now exception. That thing is nice. Did you have any issue with that going together?

Thanks, it went together just fine, but the decals were a pain. I couldn't get them to conform to curved surfaces with setting solution, so I wound up dipping a paper towel in steaming water to press the decals down. Then before I had a chance to photograph the model four of the decals popped off somewhere never to be seen again.

Try a hair drier to help soften those decals up. I use the low heat setting for a few seconds . Let them cool a bit and work out the wrinkles with a q-tip. Make releases if needed.

Nice model. I use the hot cloth trick on all my builds. Tamiya's newer kit decals due seem to have a problem with sticking. I sometimes use white glue under them but lately I have been using Future under them , cleanup is easy using ammonia on a Q-Tip.

Thanks Mike G, here's a picture of my photo setup.

I've been using a Nikon Coolpix 5400 for a while now.

Thanks Dale, I'll try that one too.

Thanks for sharing that photo set-up!

Very do-able!

The Porsche looks great, also.
