That's Great !
We all get models that give us problems. I usually end up putting them back in the box and forgetting about them for a while.
...but good on you for seeing it through, and turning out a great model.

I know what you mean about those Tamiya tyre decals, have never been able to get them to work. I just bin them these days (although I did try again unsuccessfully on the F189) and ignore the lack of tyre markings.

I haven't tried the Tamiya tire "decals" and wonder if some of the problem may be if the tires themselves aren't absolutely clean. We wash plastic and maybe for tires, we should wash them too. Just a thought.
