Happy New Year and hope all modelers in AF build more in 2009 !!!
This is the latest reissue item by Tamiya.



Firstly, the mould parts like windscreen wiper and oil cap were removed.








Decal done and waiting for clear coating






I have used styrene rods to reproduce the seat mounting.

I like the floor it's has a nice used look to it. Did you use a wash on it? If so what color?

Yes, I did use flat black sprayed all over the interior and have it brushed with diluted enamel paint XF-9 (brown).

Great project. I always wanted to do one of these! Your works looks nice and clean - as usual.
It seems you will apply the window-frame-rubber after you applied the clear. Will you spray the black? Aren´t you afraid of taking the decals and clear down when removing the masking tape? Or do you use a different method?

Cheers

Thank you Robert

Normally, I will have the body clear coated and then masking those frames by Tamiya paper tape (yellow in colour) before painting black. I did it many times without taking out the decals.

I´ve just been worried since on my CLK-DTM I removed some parts of the decals usind this method... my fault though since everybody else seems not to have any problems! Thanks for the response!
