This one was peculiar, I kind of expected a better experience from my first Tamiya car...but wow.

There were fit issues in some parts, the chasi and the body didn't really fit well together, also the decals were extraordinarily bad.

I have had bad decal experiences before, but this one was really a disaster, all decals were the wrong size, it is baffling.

Plus they had extra somewhat transparent parts on some that would just be an eye sore after the decal sat.

I also was surprised that the body was all in one part and the pop out lights and the hood were not accessible, after my experience with Aoshima Trueno that did have those in the model I expected to Tamiya also definitely having that detail too.

The guide booklet was ok, it could have been better, some illustrations were just not good.

At the end of the day it wasn't horrible but I expected more.

For the cabin interior I used some Vallejo sky grey on the backseat windshield board or whatever one calls that space and some mix of their scarlet red and dreadnought yellow for the floor.

Nicety acrylic markers from series B were used for the other details, medium grey and light grey plus red for the seats and interior elements.

Body was done by a mix of Inklab metallic acrylics, Rose+Red+Yellow thinned down with Vallejo Thinner.

The lights were Dreadnaught yellow and some transparent red made by thinning down gory red (Vallejo) and matt black.

I also used Vallejo matallic medium instead of chrome silver as I had none of that, and then covered the medium with some thin layer of silver

Topped with satin varnish.

I don't hate the outcome but it became so annoying at times and left me kind of underwhelmed.
