Thank you gentlemen!

I would write a few words about the building, it being a bit neglected so far.
So I wanted this engine to the options in detail and compared to my knowledge built. The block had a problem with painting, but departed from the manufacturer's instructions. The frame and rear swingarm alclad2 white aluminum paint blowing sealed the rear swing arm; afejidomba topstudio screws put (0.7), the lower-pieces flat pins put 1.40 inch diameter, the arms bono in parts Scale Motorsport decals were involved, the fordulatszámmérőbe gloss varnish dropped .
Employer based on the zero microfillert I used white, basic color as in the zero set of Repsol Honda in 1998 will be used.

Sorry for my bad english ...

Regards
Tamás

Hi Guys!

Today I started the stickers. I am a bit sad, but unfortunately the stickers they break easily and wrinkles as well. I will try to fix it yet, I hope i succeed ..

Oh my gosh, I didn't know it was that brittle. Anyway, I'm sure you can come up with something.

Tamas - sorry to see you also had problems with the decals. I had the same problem with the "fuel tank" decals and the front "fairing" decals. It was a complete mess. You ever was doing the decals for Tamiya was "crap"

Since Tamiya has gone to "cartograph" decals they are much better but sadly the 1998 decals were not done by them.

I bought the "Zero" 1998 Repsol paints to try to fix it, but the model is still in the box and I have not got back to it.

Let me know what you do to correct your situation and I will keep it as an option for repair.

Cheers
John

Hi Tamas! I also had this decal trouble. Used a lot of Microsol and teeth grinding before I was done. What are you using for reference pics? I couldn't find any that were much help when I was doing mine. I would like to find some. Watching you is making me want to build another one!

This kit is a fairly complicated to do, and not only in terms of paint, the decals also big are another problem, I put these pictures than I did if you can help, greetings.
