I built this kit about six months ago, it's still a really nice kit depsite it's age, the only real issues I had were with the decals, they just seemed so thick and tough, none of my decal solutions would really touch them, those ones on the drivers crash helmets were impossible and I had to bin them, interesting that you said the UMP solutions did the trick, I might have to get a set of those, I already have MIG and Micro(set/sol) but the UMP ones must be even stronger.
Thanks Gary - yes, UMP do a strong and an extra strong as well as their standard. You need to be careful with the extra strong as the decals are very delicate. I do recommend them for large challenging decals though.
@@BOABModels Tamiya seem to be the toughest decals I come up against, other manufacturers decals lay down no problem with solution, I think I'll pick up some UMP to try.
Beautiful model, Thomas! A nice tribute to Burns, who was sadly gone too soon. I found the yellow decals very difficult to work with. On my kit, they were brittle and hard to conform to the rear fenders. You using carbon fiber decals gave a special touch.
A bit of a long video this time - I was really pleased with how this one turned out so I thought I'd put as much as possible into one video. Thanks for watching - remember you can get 10% off from Kent models.co.uk with BOAB10 (limited to 5 usages per customer)
@@BOABModels I've always wanted to get that kit but I just wouldn't have so much spare time to do it. Love the short video you made with the gran turismo music as well.
Hi Auden - no I don't mind. I used discounts to purchase the kit, blue paint and carbon fibre from Kent models - I think that was around £33 in total. The smaller paints and tools have been accumulated over a long time so it's hard to say exactly how much everything cost - the brush paints are usually around £2 each, primer and clear gloss were both £7. Kent models do have a feature where it can add everything you might need to start model building which you could look at. Don't forget 10% off with BOAB10
Can i have a question, is it possible to add vinyl wrap on tamiya model rally car kit? When i saw my friends adding a vinyl color wrap on his car, he also adding a vinyl color wrap on tamiya model rally car kit
Good question - I have added simple vinyl stickers to a model but not a whole wrap. I think in principle it would be fine but as a heat gun is used to stretch the wrap, you would have to be careful not to melt the plastic of the model itself.
Yeah, that's it. There was an incident about 20 years ago where the Peugeot 206 of Gronholm was damaged but drivable during Rally GB - on the road between the stages, he gets pulled over by the Welsh police and forced to retire.
