Promising kit replacing glue by screw in many cases, but there are some moulding issue, so parts have to be well prepared.

I just realized that the chassis is totally crooked

@george, during my vacations for 2 weeks I installed some books on it and it is now almost ok

How will you do the black pinstripe? That is what has always kept me from trying this kit.

@George, I like this engine as well, and I don't remind a kit where the belts are really belt (not plastic formed with the pulleys).

@bossy122, frankly speaking, I don't know yet. 2 options on the table : option 1 is to cut the decals from the box, option 2 is to do some masking (using tracing paper on the original decals). Option 2 is my preferred option so far.
I already painted the body twice because I had some issues with the masking tape (removing the paint), so hope it will work at first try....

Can you copy the kits pinstripe then print your own? A little white on one side and a little yellow on the other, covering up any tapes leaks as well.

Thanks Kyle

Hey! A pinstripe, nice. How did you go about it?
22 October, 02:23

Hello, I made a kind of combination. Since I was afraid not to get the same yellow colour, I printed the pinstripe on white decal paper, when cutting it I let a small part of the white to have it clean. The difficult part was to have no white on the other side. I had to cut and redo couple of times.
Unfortunately, I realised later that I should have done differently as it was very difficult /impossible to have the large black part parallel to the pinstripe....

Shunko made decals for the Tamiya kit, but of course, they're no where to be found.

You can also find some decals on indycals.net
