One of my favourite Group C cars. You made a great job of it.

wow the box art make's the car look
like it has a odd shape, but that is
one hot looking car great work

nice finish

Man thats NICE!!! I like the way the door is open. I have this car with Minolta markings.

Yeah, I always like model car with openable door.

But frankly, the doors should be opened like that.

The minolta one, I also have in my garage and I am thinking to do it in next project as I am starting with Nissan R89C at this moment :rofl:

:iagree:
I love how the doors are open. I am going to get it if I see one. :iceslolan

Cool!!! I have the minolta version of this car but I prefer it with those decoration.

Great build, love it. Are the white and yellow stripes done purely with the kit decals? I've got this kit and was a bit concerned about the typical Tamiya translucent whites. Your model looks to not be troubled by that problem at all.

Thank you very much.

Actually, this tamiya kit is one of the re-issue kit, among the group C series, on the mid of June this year and I have spent one week for completion.

One of the exception of this re-issue kit is that it goes along with new Cartograf decak, which is far better than the original decal, especialy the white decal of those old kit.

That's why the white decal improve a lot. :)

Damn my kit is an old one...
Maybe I will try to order some of the new Cartograf printed decals. Thanks for the answer.

i just won the Minolta one on ebay i will
have to try to find the taka-Q decals
to try something freaky
was it hard to cut the door's that way??

The doors are already seperate in the kit, so no cutting required.

Congratulation you finally got one :iceslolan

Don't worry about the doors cause Tamiya had already done most of the job for you. Only a little cut out of part A4 and A5 and you will know about it once you seen the instruction sheet :rofl:.

Happy modeling :smile:

Nice work there...
Just got my hands on this model and was wondering what color you used for the front?
The instructions say mix Tamiya x-8:20 (lemon Yellow) and X-6:1 (orange), but I dont think my air brush is up to the job to get a good finish.
If you or anyone else out there could recomend a Tamiya spray thats a close match you'd make my day :lol2:

Thank you for your comment, MrHappy :smile:

I am using the Finisher's Pure yellow for the Taka-Q

Frankly, either spray-can / bottle paint, I am not too sure which yellow would be a match for the Taka-Q as I just do it in my own preference. :iceslolan
