Tamiya Corolla WRC
Well seeing as others are giving updates to their project I might as well too.

First off the kit has been sitting around for about 2 years opened and in a closet. I guess there was some moisture in there because the decal sheet was slightly stuck to the bottom of the box. Some of my decals are arsed. It's not terrible but there are a couple that have 'spots' where there were ripped off. I might just get a different decal sheet and start on the Cooper Mini till then. Or I might just say screw it and finish up. Suggestions?

Second I'm about to finish the bottom of the chassis and I was pushing the rear wheels on. One was being stubborn and as I was giving slightly more and more pressure....SNAP. Axle broke!

Little repair job later I'm not quite done but I need to wait for the glue to dry. I'll post my progress when I get the rear suspenion finished.

Call Tamiya at 1-800-TAMIYA-A for a replacement, maybe. I don't know if they charge for them.

Sucks about the axle. I did that with one of the A pillars on my NSX, but you can't tell now.

Maybe I'll get some Stuido 27 decal packs when the quality of my modeling can stand up to the quality of Studio 27.

The only ones that are screwed are on decal sheet A # 22 and 26.

22 isn't brilliant, it has a light black mark on it, but 26 is perfect!
Your call!

Thanks mate! If they are better than these I'll take them. BTW I got a new digital camera yesterday. It's frigging sweet! I'm still learning it so the pics are not as good as they can be yet.
