I've been posting here for almost 2 years now, and had never posted my own model, til now. I'll be the first to admit that I am very rusty when it comes to model building, painting to be honest I find kind of daunting. I had not built a plastic model kit since 1994 when this car was originally released by Tamiya.

Yellow color is Tamiya TS-16
Chassis was painted in Tamiya matte black
Rims are painted using a metallic/chrome Krylon paint I picked up at Micheal's craft store.

The Goodyear tire logo's disintegrated as I was trying to apply them to the tire, to old I guess, I have some other tire decals I need to hunt down and try so i will give that another shot.

I did learn a lot building this model, now I need to decide what I am going to build next from the remaining t93 Lola's I have on hand

cheers

Gav

I second what Calvin said about the tire decals. If you have a airbrush, try Alclad paint for the chrome look. Take Care Craig
