An out of the box build using Tamiya paints throughout, even right from the can in several circumstances, (instead of airbrushing everything).
A tip to anyone who is looking to build one, the TS-76 Mica Silver is a great match for the silver on the decal sheet. And go easy with the solvent. Some is needed, to make the decals conform, but they get gooey very quickly even with mild decal solvents. - Mark

Thanks all!
I clear-coated using TS-13 clear. It is a bit “hot” for the kit decals, so use with restraint and caution. Especially the first few coats. (Hence my hint about using the Mica Silver for touch up…)
And yes, I know of the ScaleMotorSports detail set. It is a nice addition to a very good kit. But I really wanted to see how this one builds up using only what the kit offered.

Looks fabulous. I got this one on ebay once, but the seller had mangled it, thankfully he took it back. Since then I've just looked at others' builds, and this one does not disappoint!
