I bought a set of these as well, went for 1/10 scale. I should have ordered a 1/12 scale as I think 1/10 are slightly to big Mine came from https://www.littlecaraddict.fr, I suspect yours did too 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In what way are they too big? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6209 Posted March 11, 2021 1/10 should be ok as the body, unusually for Tamiya is almost spot on to scale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that the RS1800 badges that go behind the rear wheel arches look a little big. I was comparing to some actual photos of a real car, but I could be wrong. I haven’t fitted the yet, just offered them up. The smaller RS1800 looks a better size but there’s only one of those which goes on the boot lid. I also bought a set of the Marlboro decals for the mk2 in 1/10 scale. The larger decals are nearly bang on scale for the Tamiya shell, so these are the right set to get, but some of the medium/smaller logos are a tad too big.

Yeah I placed the badges up on the rear quarter and they might be a tiny bit larger than the real thing but its not a major issue. I will be getting some of the Marlboros from them too. Just needed to test the water for quality & customer service etc but both have been spot on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcrumble 4203 Posted March 11, 2021 I was thinking of getting the BA livery as Mrs BC is crew but having seen the Haynes livery, I might have to get that (I'm from Medway originally, my Mum lives on the outskirts of Maidstone). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grotty Otty 868 Posted March 24, 2021 Another one to add to fold. Easily one of my favourite bodies. Just waiting on oil shocks and black M-05ra uprights. Not sure I'd want to tackle the headlight stickers again mind! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yoshimitsu 3475 Posted March 27, 2021 @svenb liking the originality. Annoying they left some decals out of the kit. Where did you get your spot covers from? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
