Hi, I completed a Tamiya Castrol Tom's Toyota Supra GT in 1/24 scale. Completed straight out of the box using Tamiya rattle cans. I ran into issues where the masking tape for painting the window trims ripping off the decals through clear coats (Tamiya TS-13) after finishing everything else. The decals could be old and lost its adhesion, I don't know. I had to purchase another box, and used the body, clear parts, and the decals, looks like it's a more recent production kit than the one I had. I ended up with this sequence to prevent ripping off the decals at the very end, 1-prime, 2-white paint, 3-paint window trims and other parts on the body which required masking, 4-panel lines, 5-decals, 6-clear coats, 7-sand/polish/wax. Anyway, please enjoy the photos of this simple kit. Thanks.

Thanks. I like the Castrol livery too, I didn’t like as much until after seeing the whole car comes together. Now I want to get other cars with the same livery, I think there are some rally corolla and celica.
