Even more reason to do it, if you ask me.
[EDIT]
at the "
Tamaya" ones.
@ R1600. When i posted this ^, i actually came across them for sale on a Japanese hobby site, they were all sold out along with the other mock branded stuff he'd done, ('sold out' notice over the same image you've recently posted)... So they are sold, though not necessarily by him.
@ AOS. Definitely not electrical tape... i recently removed electrical tape from one of my stripped 240Z's, even after washing with soapy water there was some tacky residue left behind on the body... so maybe try something with a weaker bond but make sure you burnish it well when applying, otherwise your stripes will end up looking like that 'Mini' i did (terrible).
[EDIT]
Small little update on the 'Z' and 'RWB'.
Decided to re-sculpture the head lights on the 'Z', they're now smaller than the original ones i did, but have better shape, and are fared into the wings to form a more accurate depiction (imo) than the HW cast, (i'm referencing from RL 'Z' pics and other 'Z' models i own), also as can be seen, iv'e flush fitted some new rear arches... had to do this so i can correctly place the arch blisters (when i get around to doing them), i really should have posted the original HW cast so the difference can be seen. On the RL car, the top edge of the arch blisters run in line with the top of the door handles (or thereabouts), on the HW cast they're placed well above that, to accommodate the massive rear wheels. Also i'll be adding deeper side sills to the car at some point.. along with a slight drop of ride height at the front of the car.
Have also added the missing badge on the fastback pillar (just needs shaping), and have filled in the double exhaust apertures, and made a new offset one which will have a nice new fat single exhaust poking out of it when finished.
Clumsy drilling of the rear rivet saw me going straight through the rear window... hence why it's filed out and will have a piece of clear plastic glued onto it once finished, not exactly what i would have wanted but it's a solution and a lesson learned.
(please excuse the white marks on the car/wheels... just dust build-up from filing the putty, should easily sand away once iv'e finished all the putty work).
Not much to show on the 'RWB', but it is now stripped and i've made my first front aperture (took absolutely ages filing it down.. couldn't find my hacksaw).
Hopefully, lessons learned with the puttying on the 'Z' will make working with it on the 'RWB' easier.
