Tamiya Toyota Corolla WRC plastic model (Tamiya 1/24 kit)
Here we have a new Tamiya-style kit, the old Tamiya Toyota Corolla WRC, in a 1/24 scale plastic kit.
The interior details are impressive, also the exterior details are very accurate, the only "big" problem are decals. In this kit, it was very difficult to apply them, they break and come off with masking tape so take care.

I blamed the fact that the kit is quite old and also, I blamed the Tamiya MarkFit Strong decal solution...I can't explain what the problem was...they simply cracked after drying or they broke during application :)

@@SmallScaleFun good to know maby i look for other decals thank you
flawless like always! 🥂 where the hell did you find this kit? I know it's discontinued for many years. It looks stunning. Corolla Castrol, Supra Castrol, great match 👍🏻 well done, congratulations for your result, it surely payed the effort of applying decals onto the body

Thank you, my friend :) Well, I was lucky with this kit. I found it sitting alone in a hobby store (that type of store that also has electric toy cars) for a reasonable price - $30. Decals were a nightmare. They break apart after being applied to the body kit. And when I try to mask the body for painting window frames, some of them come off :))) I think they are ancient. Overall, this kit is Tamiya-style with lots of details.

@@SmallScaleFun Why you don't apply the varnish first with the decals and then paint the window trim?

@@galfigolf1 I don't remember exactly but I paint like you said. Here, decals were old and decomposed in contact with water
What grit do you use for sanding the body, btw the end result looks fantastic

Hey! Thank you for your comment! Before painting I go with 1200 grit. Spray primer - gray (Mr. Hobby 1500) sanding with 2000 grit paper. Spray color - 3 - 5 layers, leave it 1 day for drying Spray varnish and after 3 days I use - 2000 - 2500 grit sanding paper (WITH WATER) and after that 3000 grit sponge. Then finish with Meguiar's compound and wax. Hope that helps :)
