My favorite Gran Turismo IV car

tamiya's kit comes with a die-cast lower body. Strangely though, the front steering arm was so short the wheels had a toe in you wouldn't believe! I lenthened it by splicing in some stretched sprue.

Cool car, great finish work. Are they all decals? Some of the larger once can get pretty hard to manage -you did well.

Thanks Guys,

From the nose back and up the A posts and the roof was painted red so the silver in that area is decal. From the doors back was painted silver, so the red in that area is decal and yes the rear fender decals were challenging but when all was said and done went down fine.
