AAR Reynard Toyota, Revell, 1/25

Hi

I'll try to build a few more cars this year, so I started with a simple one - the classic Revell 98 Champcar Reynard. I didn't invest much, just added some seatbelts.
The worst part were the kit decals, brittle and difficult to get over corners... well, even difficult to get onto flat surfaces. Setter and a hair dryer on the highest setting from closest distance are the only way to get them on the kit. The eagle nose was terrible, broke in several places and had wrinkles on others... I sanded it flat, put a coat of clear on, sprayed yellow over it. Looks OK from a distance, but don't use a magnifying glass... well, for the next Champcar kit I got some from Indycals.
Painted with TS26, 29, 8 and a mix of 35 and 43, Mr. Hobby Super Clear on top.

Hope you like it.
