Is it this one? https://tamico.de/Tamiya-Lexan-Spray-Dose-PS-XX-Dunkel-Blau-Farbspray
Still waiting on body sets too. I have a couple on pre-order and best estimate for delivery is Q4 2023
Shame you have to spend 165 euros with Tamico to order for delivery to the UK, that's a lot of paint!

Just made my first purchase from Mercari via Buyee
Keeping my fingers crossed it goes as planned.

Spurred on after seeing what a great job @Eric_N did.
Bodyshell was painted some months ago but I kept putting it off due to decals. I have to say its a challenging job with 100+ decals to fit
. Glad its now finished.

@Ferruz, those look excellent!
Yes, all these little additions really finish a rally car off and of course a cockpit
Looking forward to seeing it all finished.

Those mud flaps look cool, can you please tell me where you found them? I was going to create some from scratch, but these seem just about right. Nice to see a Delta in Repsol livery.
Thanks!
They are part of a set created by Knight Customs available on https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-delta-integrale-detail-set-128256 , printed on my resin printer.
Hope that helps

@technics Out of interest, I have a Idemitsu Motion waiting in the 'to do' pile to start, where did you source the light buckets?

19 minutes ago, JimBear said:Tamiya being Tamiya - I think they should really put in some more effort making light buckets (maybe as hop-ups at least) - they can really lift even a badly done lexan (not yours!) to a new level. It's like the eyes in a portrait drawing - if you get those right, the rest can be a bit naff, and you still can get away with it.
I agree, really finishes everything off. Watching with interest to see the end result

@ChrisRx718, its the Cricut Explore Air 2.
Its pretty easy to get the hang of. You need to download their software called Design Space, upload your images or you can create them in Design Space but it only has basic shapes etc. unless you want to subscribe and then more are unlocked.
It converts your images to SVG after uploading, so the original needs to be of good quality, you do have the option of simple editing before upload but its limited. Then you size it to what you want, load the vinyl into the machine and cut. Its amazing how small you can cut.
I am really pleased with it and its opened up ways to do different decals that i would have not even thought about before.
I have also used it to produce window masks, panel shut lines of various widths etc.

Excellent, keeping my fingers crossed for you
, I'm sure it will look great!
Yes, the Repsol one. Its been on the back burner for sometime due to work load, so thought i would get it finished while i had a quiet couple of days.
First real attempt at using my Cricut machine that the wife bought me for Christmas and I'm really impressed at how small you can get it to cut, i.e. the tyre decals etc.

Interested to see how this turns out.
I noticed L&L have added a couple of Celica's and Lancia Stratos recently and been tempted to get one if it wasn't for some many others waiting in the pile
What's the decal quality like or are you going to make your own?

Think I'm being optimistic thinking I'm going to get the chassis built to be honest, wife already has other ideas for using my time

I was on the fence about the MB-01, especially after the concerns over the Abarth body not sitting low enough, but at that price I've pulled the trigger

How is Buyee and what should one watch out for?
in Related sites

I have just bought my first items from Mercari via Buyee. 3 items in total (1 kit and 2 bodyshells) and would appreciate some guidance on their package consolidation, to try and keep the costs down.
I can see that you need to tick each item and then select Package Consolidation to proceed, due you get a quote for shipping before proceeding or do you need to proceed and they give you a quote after? is consolidation always cheaper ?
Anything else to watch out for?
Thanks
