Ligier JS11, Tamiya 1/20

Another kit done - the 1979 Ligier JS11 by Tamiya.

I've read that this would be the best of the older Tamiya Cossie-kits, but it wasn't perfect. OK, but some problems, the cowling doesn't fit 100% as the front suspension pushes it up from below.
But it looks quite well in the end; I painted with TS23 per airbrush, Alclad aluminium and Duplicolor black, Zero 1k clear on top. I left the chrome parts from the kit, when I look at photos it matches the real car pretty well. I used foil from the tool store for the wing end plates. Decals are from Indycals with some kit decals mixed in. I painted the white areas (with Zero primer, as I painted them after the blue, when using the white decals didn't work) and cut out the red stripes.
I only added some wires, belts, the meshes on the trumpets (not perfect, maybe I'll buy some from MFH) and I also cut out the front intakes on the sidepods and added some mesh here, too.

Hope you like it.
