Alan R Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) I seem to keep finding these half-built kits... So, here we go again. That's all I have managed to do so far. The body was painted in the Tamiya TS colours, they do seem to cover very well. I was a bit worried about the state of the decals, as some of them have 'crinkled' for want of a better word. However, so far they have come off the backing paper well, and haven't broken up into teeny-weeny pieces yet! I saw someone else's build on here, and he had drilled out the bolt holes and hub on the spare wheel, so I have done the same. It does make the spare look a bit more realistic. Over the next few days, I hope to get the rest of the decals applied to the body-shell. There are some horribly complex curves to follow. Hopefully, microsol will help... All the best, Alan.

MetroRacing Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Excellent another cossie being built. A couple of corrections that were mentioned in my build thread for the M Sport built cars are an additional cross bar in the roll cage and a rear exit exhaust. Looking good so far. Will continue to watch with interest Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan R Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hi All, Well, after 2 and a half years, I have resurrected this beauty. The body shell is missing some of the markings due to decal 'rot', for want of a better term, but rather than leave it on the shelf of doom, I have decided to finish it, missing markings or not... So, pictures: I have started on the under-pinning's, and will hopefully be publishing those shortly. Thanks for looking, Alan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Noble Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Looks great!! You don't see many of these built and they're becoming expensive now on eBay. Shunko models do a replacement decal sheet for this kit. Sold out at my usual supplier, but they sometimes re-stock.. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10218141 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan, you said you used Tamiya TS colours. Was it TS-15 for the blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan R Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hi All, A small update. The front transmission and axle are installed on the floor-pan: Hopefully, I'll get the rear transmission on tonight. Thanks for looking, Alan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Steve, Yes the TS colour for the blue was TS-15. It's an exact match for the Tamiya Decals as well. Cheers, Alan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
