i'm waiting for this one

me too me too!!!!

I'll definitely buy more than one!!

Hope Tamiya will continue to release more LMP shells!!

More progress today!

Some pics showing the extremely nice carbon fibre cockpit panel and tail lights! (I didn't notice these when I bought the body set!!) Tamiya's product always have good quality!

But the rear wing sticker is very tricky to apply...impossible to avoid 'bubbles' in the screw position. I would recommend painting the silver color of the rear wing and then cut out and paste the audi logo instead of applying the whole sticker to anyone who is going to build this body kit.

My R8R & XJR-12

cool stuff!!

can u take a close up pic at the R8R rear wing?

More progress today!!

Painting the driver took more time than I have expected....

I used Gunze H311 (Gray) for the driver's clothes as they are never pure white....
The sticker are home made and the quality of the sticker is not as good as I have anticipated...but ok la...

....where is the head!!??

helmet painting in progress

The helmet needed a LOT of sanding

You paint on the outer of the shell? Is it easy to come out as Gunze H311 is just arcylic paint for static models.  I used to paint from the inside.

I paint from outside of the shell, so that the driver will not appear shiny and waxed.
The Gunze paint is much easier to hand paint and takes up much better than the XF7 I used for the gloves!

Still in progress!!

The helmet took me longer than the car itself (almost)!!

Process done = sanding, primer, white base, red color, stickers

The stickers are very hard conform to the round surface of the helmet....there is a visible wrinkle in the blue area....

Sigh...
Difficult ma...If I paint the area blue, I still have to cut the "E.Pirro" out...thus still unable to get perfectly flat.
But it is in the 'rear' part of the helmet, not readlly seen when the helmet is attached to the car...
Anyway, I'll try to spray a clear topcoat to see if the 'wrinkle' slightly improve next week.
