Not too much to say about this one. Typical Hasegawa. No real complaints. I do feel their plastic is always a bit more brittle than Tamiya, but maybe its just the smaller size.  I've always loved this livery. It's loud, and ugly. But it's also colorful and eye catching. Good for a racecar. I don't even remember where and when I acquired this. I basically just wanted it to practice painting complicated liveries. Still have a Mazda 787 I want to do justice to at some point, after all. 

I quadruple taped this to try to keep everything sealed off and at the same level. Overall pretty happy with the results! Sort of a boring car other than the ridiculous livery. Lots of black on black. I broke it up where I could but didn't add anything other than some detail painting. Fun build anyway. Thanks for looking

That really looks good Kyle. GREAT job on taping off for that colorful paint scheme. The engine bay looks way too cool.

You are a maser painter, Kyle. I am sure I would not even try this let alone think of a quadruple tape job. It turned out really well. Good for you. You do model a little of everything.
Thanks for sharing,

I love it. I'm happy to hear you are challenging your with complex masking jobs. Way to go! I'm glad you are embracing the challenge.

This car is no doubt a masking enthusiasts wet dream.

Thank you Jim, you are too kind. Master painter I am not, but I am happy with the results here. Did exactly what I wanted and that’s a rare achievement. 🤣 But thank you again.

Thanks Calvin. There’s always more to learn. I am like a child compared to most of you on this board.
