Ah ha.. The Sticky (Get it right this time) fingers Ford Focus build. Been waiting so see this for ages... And now I have.. It's great work, and I knew you would like a Tamiya kit. I build them all the time, and the detail and parts are good. You get a lot of mold lines, but I can handle that.
As for not painting P/E parts, sometimes you don't have to. I searched around only a few days ago to see how to work with them, and parts you want to look metal you can leave unpainted. i've YET..!! to get my P/E parts for my Honda 272 build, but I'm planning on leaving many parts un-painted from the set.. So I'm not shocked, and I think it looks very good...!! The mesh needed to be painted though, and I'm glad to see you did, and the ford mask looks great..!!
i've got the 2002 WRC kit, and I was planning on building it next. Do you think the P/E set you got would be OK? Looks a nice set to work with. And my next step is CF decals as well.. Just get this Honda I'm building out of the way..
All in all, VERY good work.. Nice to see you build a Tamiya kit and like it, and make a nice job of it..
