ross w Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Bought this as a "started" kit...right! It had a really bad paint job, primer & top color too thick/heavy, plus decals poorly applied, a couple parts broken or missing even though "all was there". Side note...Tameo Kits backs up their products, great customer service, fast email response, and will supply replacement parts/decals if they have them...so ask! I did have to pay for the replacements and shipping from Italy to Florida... I'm ok with that. Here are my before and during restoration pics..(it's been at least 10years since I last built a 43rd scale kit). Thanks for looking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigasshammm Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 That's a great looking car. Tameo does have awesome service. Got all new pe parts when I lost the wing support for my Benetton. Totally my fault but they were great about it. Look forward to more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ross w Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 ...further progress...more assembly, and now painting...used Gunze Mr. Color no.5 Yellow with a hint of red...see color chip..arrows point to third try at matching the chip...thinned with Mr. Color Leveling thinner...works like a charm, just don't touch it. No need to polish paint as a smooth prime job makes for a smooth paint if thinned correctly..so no orange peel here. I will allow the paint to cure for a few days before starting further assembly and decal work. Color is a little washed out due to intensity of the work bench light.
