Tamiya kit, done as instructed.
Not my best model, mostly because of the decals (which I am still rather clumsy at :p). Keep in mind, though, this is my first racing car.

My next project is most likely going to be a revisit to the Fujimi Enthusiast Porsche 356 Speedster or the Tamiya Karmann Ghia. :)

The only real 'ding' on this one is how I screwed up The right front blue decal. Lots of heating and reapplication there. ;)

I actually think that there is little wrong with the decals, you may just want to use some blue metallic paint (X13) to fill up white spots underneath the fender, but hey, these rallye cars suffered are lot during a race

I'm not the one to ask. I bought a cheap Paasche years ago for $60 that worked decently, over time I just ended up using Tamiya spray because (for me at least) the coat comes out very nice and even and doesn't have as much need for polishing. :)

BTW-
I did this same 356 kit when I was 11 or 12, so the quality wasn't as good. Just recently I found the same kit at a local hobby shop for cheap, so if it's still there I'm likely to buy it. If it's sold, I move on the Karmann Ghia and if that is too I buy the R33 Calsonic Skyline. ;)

Looks nice from here. I can't see any faults with decal placement and detail is good. :D Wait! You missed a spot! The wheel nuts :p
