Completed Tamiya 1/12 Honda RC211v

[Eric Cole]

Well, here it is..... the brightest model in my display case. :cool:

This was a fun, simple out of the box build. It came out okay for the most part. There are a few decal issues like a couple that are slightly missaligned but all things considered I'm happy with the result.

Sweet :cool:

That's one crazy mofo paint/decal scheme. It's come a long way since that box full of parts at Brian's :D

Kinda makes me glad I'm working on a 39 piece kit with only two decals :rolleyes:

I bet those decals were fun. Looks great Eric, as a matter of fact after seeing your progress I almost picked one up.

Man, does that glow in the dark too? I knew it was a decal "heavy" kit but nothing like this. You did a fantastic job as always.

Sometimes I wonder if teams get such eye catching liveries because they want to see their race machines on modeler's shelves instead of others....

Looks stunning. That's probably the loudest livery I've seen - a close second being the JACCS Accord. What yellow did you use? I think I'll need something like that for a "dorifto" FC :rolleyes:

Thanks everyone.

hahaha....... Nope, it doesn't glow in the dark but it doesn't take much light to make it visible.

Willimo, the flourescent paint is from Pactra, it's their R/C Spray lacquer in a can and I used the flourescent yellow on the tank and seat cowling. I sprayed it over tamiya white primer then cleared it with tamiya clear. It took a lot of clear to gloss up and still needed a serious polishing after. i was concerned about parts fit after that much paint but didn't have much of a problem with it.

I saw this one up close yesterday, and it is awesome.
The washes, and detail painting are perfecto..
