Building OOB with Shunko Replacement decals for 1993 Monte Carlo Rally (94 decals were unavailable)
Painted with Tamiya LP Paints, LP-2 for body and LP-9 clearcoat, and Tamiya Acrylics using Tamiya spray-work basic airbrush.
Used the original Tamiya blue decals which went on fine and used the Shunko decals for the "Sponsorship" is markings.
A couple of firsts on the model:
- Tamiya LP Paints
- Decaling prior to body and final detail
- LP-9 clear coat

Overall, very happy with outcome, window trim could be better - used masking tape and hand painting after decal and clear coat application, not that clean and a lot of tidying up. Clear coat could be thicker, as some decals were completed covered after alot of handling etc.

One of my all time favourite cars.
