andyh Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Just finished this kit, and really pleased with the outcome. No real issues with it, apart from the bonnet fit which was terrible. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry too much about that - it's an old Renault so that's probably par for the course Good job - looks like it's the sort of model which will stand out on the shelf. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventrycat Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Like that a lot, always had a soft spot for R5’s or “Le Car” over here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have found it burns through decals so lay the decals on top of the clear coat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul H Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 That looks fantastic! I have one of these in my to build pile, and hope it will look as good as yours once it is done. Also, thank you for the info on the Halfords colour that you used. It looks like a pretty good match to the box art & has helped me decide what to paint my one, as these do look good in that colour.
