Re: Tamiya S2k-First Ever Model

good start.
your new wheels look a lot like the originals though. (or is it just me...?)

Re: Tamiya S2k-First Ever Model

thanks! yeah I guess you can say it looks familiar. I just didnt want to paint the mugen mf10 that came with the wheels. I am planning on using them on some other car i have in mind.

Somewhat familiar because of the double spoke action going on

work emotions mugen mf10

Re: Tamiya S2k-First Ever Model

Nice progress on this...looking good. You certainly seem well tooled up for your first model, and your interior is looking great. Please use more detail about the problem you're having with the decal though...as it helps everyone out.

General procedure is to dip into water for about 30secs (I leave it in until the decal just about slides off the backing paper when I try to move it) then move it into place. Remove any air bubbles then soak up excess water with tip of tissue or you can press down on it with a tissue. Apply Microsol with a brush for contoured surfaces.
