And finished......

Tamiyas Mazda RX-7 in1/24

First time I've done this kit, no major dramas as you would expect..... I'd like to do this again but turn it into track car

Decided to have a bit of a play with it....... Added some scratched harnesses...... Didn't like the rear spoiler in the box but strangely one off a Mitsubishi Evo fits and changes the look...... Found some wheels in the spares box that were the same size but a different style so dechromed and sprayed Matt black

Biggest booboo I made was forgetting to polish the body shell..... Doh!!

Tamiya make a polishing compound.... Sort of a fine t-cut in a tube..... Use a lint free cloth.... Just got to make sure you only polish in one direction, no circles..... It's something I've only recently started doing but I had brainfade and forgot on this lol
