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.

marvellous :)

Looks gorgeous.

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?

Love it!

Stunning looking build!i'm glad I have one of these on the way From HLJ,some lighter pics would be nice though.

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?

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 :smile:

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.

Looks great!! Looking forward to seeing more & more of these over the coming months!

Looks great! I should be able to start mine tomorrow.

I am working on this build now too
Andy

I hate you, Andy. :lol:

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 :banghead::lol:

That stinks Bob!
I guess I got a little lucky.
The pieces look good and as we see here they go together well too!

That СF decal looks good enough, because it imitates more large weaving.

I hear ya, and see your point, as I said, just my opinion.
I think you are right, it might be good enough.
It is hard to find that pattern on other decals and then get the right size after that.

What is nice about Tamiya's decals is that they don't require such careful trimming exactly up to the edge, each piece is separate on the sheet. I need to study that photo to see what I need to cover with gloss clear vs. matte clear, looks like the large weave stuff isn't finished to a gloss.

Wow, the new pictures look a lot better!!!!!!


You're right Bob.
I would not do this build without the Tamiya CF decals. There are a ton they provide for you and you would be making templates for a month without their sheet.
The detail in the CF is not as good as a Studio 27 or KA or some of the others, but to not make the templates, I will gladly trade that.

Thanks for the insight and great pics right out of the gate on this one baracca!

Very nice model.

Nicely built model, clean & crisp appearance, Bravo!!

Mine came in friday Bob but the mail lady didn't offer to leave it or contact me. I was home all day. The wife went back out to post office twice but she still hadn't returned from her route. So the wife told them to tell her to knock on the door this time !!:banghead:

What do the post office and the shoe store have in common?

Too many loafers :icon16:

Mamma mia, bellissima !
Are u maybe a modeller for tamiya company?

OMG that is beautiful! congrats!

I already managed to destroy the engine cover trying to putty those damned air intakes, yours look awesome, how did you go about filling/sanding those in the engine cover and the doors?

superb work
