Back to Renault yellow. Original kit instruction is X8 yellow which translates in most charts to Humbrol 69. I think thats a bit orange though. This is where im at at the moment.

From the top, Humbrol 69, Tamiya sprue, Zero paint on body, humbrol 99.

I've ordered decals from Indycals for the Ferraris and Renaults. He only does the No1 Brabham though. I've looked all over for 2 sets of either Shunko, S27 or Museum Collection. Out of stock everywhere. Don't suppose any of you lot have some spares?

Where are you located? I have the Studio27 sheet, and an interesting proposition regarding a 3 way transaction between you, me, and Indycals.

In essence this: I have a sealed S27 set you need with a price tag on it of $36USD. I need Indycals BT-50 set with helmet decal included = $17. Also need BT-46 Niki Lauda set = $18. Total of $35. You could purchase the Indycals sets and have them shipped directly to me. I send you the S27 set and everybody is happy. I don't have to send or collect money, just ship the S27 set to you. You still didn't say where you were from? I can provide picture of S27 set.

Some more progress. I've stopped assembly of the second for now as I was discovering I was making the same mistakes on both. Anyway, here is Prosts so far.
