Tamiya 1/24 205 T16
- OOB Build with Shunko replacement decals
- Primed with Tamiya Fine Surface Primer (White)
- Body painted with Mr Color Lacquer (2) and clear-coated with Tamiya LP-9
- Engine and interior painted with Tamiya Acrylics.
- Issues:
1. Kit was missing rear screen (or I may've lost it) so a spare screen from another kit wad used which wasn't a perfect fit and resulted in the tear of the rear "rally ID" decal.
2. The rear "hatch" doesn't fit snug so sits a few mm higher than expected which affects the overall look.
3. Shunko decals need a lot of manipulation with softener AND a hair dryer for them to conform
