Opel Astra Phoenix Lots of pics
This is the tamiya Opel Astra V8 Team Phoenix kit. The kit fits together fairly well. Only problems were fitting the chasis to the body and putting the doors on. One suggestion to people who plan on building this kit is to screw in the two piece hinge first then glue to door, and finally screw into the top of the car. Also i recomend cutting the arrows out (decals) and not using the yellow/white parts as it makes the seperation line noticable.
Also the sms carbon fiber decal set with the templates are aweful. Had to make my own mask for almost everything besides the chasis. Other than that its a great kit, plan on building the other one as well. SMS PE SMS cf decals BMF Detail master fittings Studio 27 seat belt material TS paints, humbrol enamels Onto the pics:                   Let me know what you guys think.

I have alwys like the look of the Astra kit for its positionable doors - sadly a rarity in kits but is so great for viewing and showing off interior work. Well done!

This is one kit I have always thought about building and your work inspires me to jump on one. You have done a remarkable job with this one. I can't say anymore. Thanks for sharing
