Continuing with the Subaru and it seems I've been plagued with problems so far and I'm only just doing the bodyshell.I rushed the decals a little, maybe because I was so keen to see them on, but still I rushed them and as a result they are not as good as they should have been.The pictures don't really show up the flaws but there are the odd wrinkles here and there, nothing too bad but it pains me to know I could have done them better.Maybe just me but the yellow stars and crescent decals seemed very fragile and very brittle on my kit (maybe old decals...???)
I also got a couple of minor runs in the clear coat, but nothing a good polish with the micromesh/compound shouldn't sort when the shell is properly dry.Also some small dirt nibs landed in the roof whilst I was clear coating, again they will polish out when dry.
The colour though I was happy with.The shade certainly looks a closer match than TS 50 Mica Blue in my opinion, I'll let you all be the judge.Here's a few daylight pictures.Next I'll be starting the chassis whilst the body dries.













I hope the chassis brings me more luck after the small body problems, although looking at the pictures it isn't too bad, but they do hide the flaws quite well.I tend to have a disaster model every once in a while that turns around and bites, I just hope that this one ain't it.....................

Any comments most welcome
