I think I'd still give the nod to the Fujimi one - the shape of the front end and headlamps looks a bit better to my eye. The rear glass shape is a bit off as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks superb as it is, and personally I can never bring myself to weather my cars, preferring them in pre race or just been cleaned condition. Maybe just weather the engine a bit?

galaxyg Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I would go with "no" to the weathering only because the finish is so nice as it is, and race cars are harder to weather than rally cars - where you can almost just chuck mud on them. The subtleties of Le mans weathering is something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasp0 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Very nice build @Rod The Fixer! I just bought this kit so looking up some other builds. How did you masked the red parts on the front? Used the decals to cut out a mask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Yasp, yes I masked the red parts with the Tamiya flexible masking tape using the decals as guide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
