After working on so many Revell kits, it's an absolute joy to finish up a Tamiya. They just fall together! Had a small hang up on getting the body on the chassis, but not noticeable. A few decal hangups, but 95% of the car is covered in decals! The grain shows up larger in the images, but in 1:1 it turned out great.

Progress thread here shows interior shots and some more closeups.

Great looking car. You really did a excellent job with the decals. I have this one as well as the Original Teile in my stash, and I've been hesitant to build one because I don't want to screw up the decals.

By the way, I noticed the decals on the rear wing was on upside-down in the WIP. How did you fix it?

Very nice finish. This decalmania turned out great. Good job. Do you have pictures of the engine bay??

Kanedge generously gave me his spare decals when he built this street version. Thanks kanedge!

godfather: The engine is box stock with no real detailing. Here are some shots from the WIP:

This is one sharp build! Very clean and attractive. The brake rotor texture is spot on, too!

Very nice work

I also have done this model. Maybe I´ll build Warsteiner and Original Teille to complete the lot. If I do so I´ll use completed CF decals. That would be a big challenge because I never used CF

Excellent! So it's all decals eh? Amazing, well, it looks really hot, nicely done. Nice pics too.
