Renault 5 Turbo Tamiya

I started this model some days ago. Decals are yellowed and I bought a new decal sheet from Renaissance.

I just bought this kit, original issue. I wont be building it for some time but I will be following this closely.

Great paint!
Old school Tamiya, gotta love it.

Nice looking paint!

Nice looking paint!

Renaissance decals arrived but they are out of scale. I had to cut 2 milimeters in the side stripes to fit. On the hood I had to cut in 5 pieces and carefully place to fit right.

But it's looking good so far:

Howdy!
Very nice Paintwork, I'll watch this with great interest :smokin:

I finished with the decals:

I'll have to repaint some black areas because the decals didn't fill the entire area.

Denilson

The decals turned ot great, can't wait to see the old-school rally interior!

Very nice job so far. I like those old school race and rallye cars.

Great painting skills, it looks fabulous. What paints are you using..??

Looks great so far, I am restoring an old one of these that I built when it was originally released 25 odd years ago! I also bought the Rennaisance more correct deeper dish tarmac spec Gotti wheels and I think the tarmac spec suspension is lower than that included as standard in the kit so will need some mod's. Looking forward to more progress!

The roll bar comes incomplete, so I completed it :smile:

Body paint is pretty good:sunglasse. Decals are also great. Only the protective tube frame is very strong.:uhoh: Look at the original:

Thanks for the pictures! I'll see what I can do.

I am very glad to help. Any other pictures :

I changed the plastic to 2mm tin solder wire.

I think it's much better now.

Denilson

So it is in a real car. It can also determine the ratio of the size of the pipe frame. viz.renault R5T:

I will build this model as well. So keep supporting. :naughty:

Roll bar looks a lot better with solder. I always wanted to get this kit, never did. Yours is looking really good. I like the progress, keep us posted.

Modifications in this post:
- interior frame redone with 2mm solder
- original seats replaced by racing seats
- scratch pedals
- chassis completed with plastic

Now I have to sand, fill holes, align some things....

Hope you like.

Great work on that rollbar! and offcourse on the rest of the model as well.

Excellent model and excelent details....!!

I see that you are from Brasil...do you buy your evergreen in your country? or you buy it from Japan, USA, London, Mexico?

Thanks for the comments!

I buy on ebay and online stores.

Great job, tubular frame is very successful:cool::cool: . I see that the model does not fit the chassis with the bodywork. You have a new suspension, and what remains is in the kit, only the axis?
Good luck in further work.:cool:

Starting to assembly the interior:
