Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is glue included in the kit?

No, this kit requires modeling glue, which must be purchased separately.

Do I need to paint the kit?

Yes, this is an unpainted model kit, and painting is required to achieve the realistic look shown on the packaging.

What is the finished size of the model?

The finished model is approximately 197mm in length.

Are the decals peel-and-stick?

No, these are traditional waterside decals that require soaking in water before application.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

Due to the intricate mechanical details and paint requirements, it is best suited for those with some prior experience in model building.

Can the engine be seen after the car is assembled?

Yes, the rear cowl is removable, allowing you to display the engine and mechanical details.

Troubleshooting

Decals are not adhering properly

Ensure the surface is glossy; use a decal setting solution to soften the decal and allow it to conform to curved plastic surfaces.

Parts do not fit together flush

Check for excess 'flash' or molding seams on the edges of the parts; trim carefully with a hobby knife and lightly sand the area until the parts fit smoothly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of molded detail for realistic representation
  • Removable rear section allows for ongoing display of internal mechanics
  • Precise Tamiya parts fit for a smooth assembly process
  • Iconic subject matter with historical significance

Cons

  • Requires significant effort in painting and detailing
  • Tools, glues, and paints are not included in the box
  • Small parts require steady hands and patience during assembly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin, you will need a set of side cutters, hobby knives, fine-grit sandpaper, and plastic cement. We recommend using Tamiya-specific model paints to ensure color accuracy with the decals provided. Work in a well-ventilated, well-lit area with a clean cutting mat. Once assembled, keep the model out of direct sunlight to prevent decal fading or plastic warping. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the vents and engine components periodically, and store the finished model in a display case to prevent damage to the delicate suspension parts.
