Thanks for the great welcome. Like i said in my intro not built anything for over 10 years this is my first atempt...
Tamiya 1/24 ford zakspeed turbo capri, easy to put together some of the decals were hard especially the stripes round the front skirt any tips would be appreciated..
Trying to add photos from my phone but he says files too big any help with this would also be appreciated.

Hey Gaz, Nice looking capri. Always liked those cars, there's a few products out there that would help with the decals. I think the most popular would be Microscale industries "microsol and microset". They should help those stripes snuggle right down on the curve's. Keep up the good work
Cheers, Dave

Love those old capris and old fords in general, nice work on that. As said you won't go wrong with micro scale set and micro sol.

Very nice Capri sir, had one as a boy racer for a short while, hated the long bonnet but the leather interior and furry dash made up for it, then became a mk2 Escort lover finally finishing up with the mk5 Cortina.....
...but enough of that... :welcome: to ISM sir. :th:
Hope you enjoy your time around the forum matey, lots to see or do!
:cheers2:

Nice job bud. I will be doing this kit at some point over the next year so it's awesome to see it done. It's cool to have someone like me that likes to do cars and the like. Says this with a whisper they tend to build 1000s of tanks you know what they about guys with big guns they have small (enter word here) hehe

Welcome to ism bud keep up the good work
