Wow first one completed on AF, great results! How was the building process? I suppose the kit (like many modern tamiya's) fits like a glove?

Well done.

Beautiful result, nice, clean and shiny! And great C/F surfaces! Did you use Tamiyas P/E and C/F set?

Wow very quick off the mark, would like some lighter pictures too and some build impressions?

The shadow in your pics realy picks out them cars well.ordered mine fron ebay seller in japan with yhe pe+cf decal set, cant wait to get my mitts on it.went and ordered some stuff from hlj also for black friday sale and wish I had ordered it from them now.i am in uk.

Was wandering when someone was gonna post a wip or finished.

Great job.

Looks great. How's the kit?

[avd]

I can't believe you already finish it and mine still in box lol.

Thank you for reply
Sorry for the dark pictures, my camera broke and used old one.

I used Tamiyas P/E and C/F set both, it fits well.
Parts fitting is not bad, but needs some adjustment works, especially around doors and engine.
If you want to apply C/F decal to the chassis side correctly, you need to glue top & bottom chassis parts before mouting engine.(I sawed engine parts and reglued)
Doors cannot hold in open position (I used scotch-tape...)
etc...

Anyway It is nice kit and you may enjoy it

Man, that looks nice!
You got this one done fast!

I have to say, in my opinion, the larger scale on that Tamiya CF sheet looks slightly too large. There are two different sizes on the sheet, the smaller looks fine. I am working on this build now too and using that sheet, but will be replacing the large scale CF with some smaller scale pieces.

Thank you for posting this for us and your comments are insightful!
You did a great job here.

I hate you, Andy.

I will get my &*%#$@ "express" shipment tomorrow, paying $34 for an 11 day shipment. I have to go to the PO to pick it up. It was so &*&%*@# nice of HLJ to offer me EMS rather than the SAL that I wanted because of travel schedule.

I'd have had this kit by last Monday if I got it via FedEx. I'm only FedUp at this point
