I finished first model in new flat. I started it three months ago in motorsport competition. The kit is disappointing considering its date of production. Rims and tires diameter are too big, very simple seat, Not perfect shape of fenders and ducktail. Small number of details like missed antennas on roof, even with Detail up set.
But the worst in this kit are molds quality, something like kits in 80's, maybe 90's. Sink marks, flash, seam lines, I even had to remove seam lines around the perimeter of side windows to fit them. During the work, the pink color under the varnish separated in to two shades. I decided to do my first weathered model. It's not perfect but I gain many experiences in that. I'm glad I finished this model at all and have some weathering experience.

I'm back!
I can finally write this post. About a year ago we bought a flat and did some renovations, some things still need work. In the meantime I was in Japan for the first time and now I know that it certainly won't be the last. Today I can show photos of my current workshop and I hope to start posting models again. FK8 from Alpha is almost ready (it's missing the windshield wipers, which I screwed up), and it even has some awards.
