Re: Keep Decals and tires away from each other!
Early Belkits kits also have this issue, the tyres can eat plastic and mess up everthing.

Re: Common pitfalls with clear coat over decals?
Mist coat then wet coat will do the job, no issues normally. I assume you spray over the tamiya decals, 2k works fine with them. I usually spary a light coat of 1k clear before the 2k, just to burn the decals a little bit to the base coat, also gives the model a fresh surface without contaminations,...

Re: MFH 1/20 news March - MP 4/4

I recommond Auto Modeli GT, there are some Tameo, MFH, S27 kits, but most of the stock are aviation and sci-fic models. Also the Tamiya Plamodel F...

Re: PLASTIC Upcoming F1 Releases 2019
So a curbside. There are only some suspensions and part of the gearbox, just so that perhaps you can see some part of it from outside. That's why Tamiya gives the suspensions and gearbox. Maybe we can DIY an enginge?

Re: Issues with Studio 27 CF decals

Re: Le Mans models
I saw the 050 kit from S27, all good but thick shark fin. On the Hobby Forum it was sold out really quick. I chatted to some Japan modelers and they believe Tamiya will release a TOYOTA next week, probably a 050.
