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

George Williams
Good luck with this old kit.

bossy122
I'm cheering for you!

Stéphane Jayet
I just realized that the chassis is totally crooked

George Williams
Any plans to try and straighten it?

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

Maybe Arnoux bounced off a Ferrari ; )

Laurent VILLANUEVA HELLER ForEver

Stéphane Jayet
Thank you George

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

gorby
Very nice work so far.

George Williams
Great looking engine, the turbo revolution led by Renault.

Stéphane Jayet
Thank you gorby

Stéphane Jayet
@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
@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....

Kyle DeHart
That's really looking excellent!!

bossy122
Can 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
Thanks Kyle

Stéphane Jayet
@bpssy122, excellent idea, I will explore this option

Michael Kohl
Looking good

Stéphane Jayet
Thanks Michael

Hey! A pinstripe, nice. How did you go about it?

Stéphane Jayet
Hello, 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....

Laurent VILLANUEVA HELLER ForEver
tip top !!!

George Williams
Neat work with the pinstripe.

Stéphane Jayet
Thank you Laurent and George

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

Stéphane Jayet
You can also find some decals on indycals.net

bossy122
Are there any cam covers?

Stéphane Jayet
Yes, will be placed later

bossy122
Phew!
