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

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

bossy122How will you do the black pinstripe? That is what has always kept me from trying this kit.

Stéphane Jayet Author@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).

Stéphane Jayet Author@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....

bossy122Can 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.

Stéphane Jayet AuthorHello, 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....

bossy122Shunko made decals for the Tamiya kit, but of course, they're no where to be found.

Villiers de VosVery nice work so far. Your masking and painting is top notch.

Stéphane Jayet AuthorMaybe but I'll put it next to the kit in the display case to see the engine
