Looks great. I love that car, and I loved that kit. It was tons of fun to build. Hope you have as much fun as I did.... !

I don't need one, I've got a sheet of dry rub-on decals for the numbers, I checked the font and it's almost the same and the size is just right.

So all I need to do is to rub the dry decal on a blank waterslide decal sheet and I've got my number decal. I never tried it but I've been told that it works.

As for the red circle, I guess I'll just cut out a circle inside a 40mm piece of masking tape.

The rest (honda racing logo and metal transfer) are included in the kit.

Now all I need is putty for the bulge on the hood (SOME MAJOR PUTTY WORK HERE ) and a can of racing white.

May I maybe suggest using first normal white, and gently cover it with the racing white?

I tried several coats of racing white one over the other... but that is just too yellow and won't look right.

Just a suggestion

Ah... cool!

Thanks for the tip, It's funny because I've got a little left inside my ts-26? pure white, just enough to cover the little s800 body.

Groovy little car - the transformation is a cool idea!

Look forward to watching the progress.

Did some progress, the body was sanded, some holes where plugged, some new ones were made. Now it's primmed and waiting for me to get a can of racing white.

Finished the chassis though, I also made some wiring and blackwasing on the engine. More to come.
