Hi,
Thanks for looking.
All of them have been completely stripped down by wet sanding & resprayed. The white is "Mr Color 1" over silver undercoat & flo red used is "Mr. Color 171". The rear wings were swapped between the MP4/7 & MP4/8. The low downforce wing had 1 element removed to depict the German GP version. I thought I'll do a different version of the MP4/8 with the bar code from the usual ciggie version.
FYI. To depict the MP4/4 as the Monaco version, the rear wing top element, part A24, of the MP4/5B has to be used.
Cheers
Lee

Re: Tamiya MP4s Restoration
Sorry to hv missed your question. Yes, the old bodies were all sanded down, grey & white primer followed by a silver coat before the top coats of white & flo red are applied. The flo red used is Mr Color 171
