Originally built this in '06 but felt it was worth a rebuild. Tamiya TS23 and PS20 with Mr Hobby Super Clear. The decals are from Mike, but for some reason the bleed through was insane. Maybe they ran out of bleach at the Barilla decal factory the day these were printed, but I needed 3 sets to block out the red and blue. Confused The exhaust is K&S 5/32 tube I bent with their springs and then flattened with pliers to get the ovaled look.



















As always thanks for looking,
Joe

I hate that the decals were such a pain, but they look great so I would say it was worth the headache!

Nice work, really good on the exhaust, much better than the kit piece. ..applause

It's hard to believe when compared to the shops of today but this is the building (long gone) that car was housed and raced out of:
