Ford Focus - Monza Rally 2007 (8)
Initial D - Toyota AE86 Tureno (3)
Having the cockpit ready for paints, I have started moving on the white color on the body. The work is very straight forward as the body itself is really simple.
I have worked particularly on the chassis as I think this AE86 has to be aged and certainly in a used condition. That's why I have put up some dirts and mud colors on the chassis. I didn't do it like the AFV kits with pigment yet as I still want to keep the chassis clean. Perhaps I will work more on the weathering at the finishing stage.

Valentino Rossi - Team Fiat Yamaha 2009 (19)
So finally I got the frame painted this time. Some screws were installed for realism and I will have to work a bit more on the swing arms to lay down a couple of pieces of decals and as well laying coating on it.
Hopefully I can start working on the engine in the coming weekend and see how far I can squeeze it a bit to push on the progress.

Initial D - Toyota AE86 Tureno
Just when I was clearing up some of the stuffs on top my desk, I picked up this kit and suddenly would like to get a very quick run to complete the kit, so as to leave up more space.
So this is how it was started. More like a tradition, I started by removing all the molding lines around and thinned down the fenders from the inside, as well as hihglighted some of the panal lines where neccassary.

Now, while I am waiting for some tuned parts from arriving, I have started working on the chassis and cockpit for this Focus.
Quite recently I have read a progress from a Japanese master to have the pre-shadowing practising on the cockpit for another WRC ride. So I am going to try if it gives positive result.

Valentino Rossi - Team Fiat Yamaha 2009 (18)
Just got a veryquick run for a 2K clear coat this weekend. But I was too hurry to have the coat laid and just when I realised I have not got a protective coat on the decal before this 2K coat!
I have almost melted the decal right the way!
That's why I stopped and only managed to have this fuel tank cover coated. This 2K coat is really great with the gloss and the texture. But I would still prefer to give a layer of GX100 on all other parts first just in case I would have prevent the decal being melted.

Well~~~ Well~~~ This has been one of those happiest moment I have been when the topic is about decals. Tamiya and Cartograf this time has delivered I can say the best decal sheet ever I have ever used! Even the Cartograf for Hasegawa airplane kit can't even match such quality!
The decal sticks on the surface really tight and firmly; But you can still move the decal around with a little drop of water slicing between the surface and decals; The decal is thin but really strong; The printing is brilliant as usual and the colors in particular for the Rossi shiny colors are amazing! The decals bend itself easily than I barely use any softener at all! This is the best decal sheet I have ever used. I can imagine even someone ask me to work on a couple more of kits I will still love to and be so glad to enjoy this level of quality!
This really amazed me!
