Spiny Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Got to agree that this looks absolutely superb, and the best colour scheme to my eyes too. With one in the stash I'm glad to hear that it goes together so well. And from a purely selfish point of view I'mglad it'll be 2-3 years before I get around to mine as I doubt it will stand comparison with your model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liizio Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Looks just great! Paintjob is just... flawless, really. Those gold accents really suit the car well, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Fantastic. I used to lust after these in their day, now I must console myself with one of these kits. Sadly, I doubt it will be finished to your superb standard , but I'll like it. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malpaso Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 A very lovely build. I have one of the older issue to build, I as thinking about going full on 70s purple (like the Matchbox Europa I had as a kid), but seeing it so beautifully done in black...hmm...😍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HI, it is just pleasure to building this kit,I really love TAMIYA kit..the most time I spend on this kit is painting... applying decal is a bit tricky..but take your time,it will be fine...have fun and carry on!!😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voozet Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Stunning! You have amazing painting skills. For me, successful painting is when there are no streaks and this is a completely different league 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natter Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I followed your build (100+ installments?) on youtube. Superb, absolutely superb. Even for those of us who could not add as much amazing detail to their model as you did to yours, the videos offer some really good tutorials, especially for things like lowering the suspension to get a better ride height. I'll say it again, superb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anteater Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Supercool. I assume the gold stripes are decals... fun to apply? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
