Finally got the Zakspeed Capri finished over the weekend.
With the 'Wurth' decals cracking up, and proving next to useless, I repainted it,
and sorted through my collection of old decals to produce this race car.

Considering the cost of the kit, and the fact it is the decals that make these cars, as parts are few and far between
Tamiya should make extra sure that the decals are fit for purpose and top quality - which they are not.

Is that the new release Ron?

It's very expensive at near to 30 quid Sterling for an ex-motorised thingy only to find the decals are crap..

Nice save with the paint and parts box decals, it actually looks better.

Thanks and Yep, it's a new model - but bought for half price at the Modelzone closing down sale, and gifted to me by my son.

That has turned out real nice Ron. And I agree with Shay, it looks better than the original. Nice one!!001
