Chris...the 206 is coming along just fine, thanks for asking. Unfourtunately i'm a much better builder than I am photographer, so it can take a while for me to get pics posted. I end up taking quite a few pics just to get a few that I like.
I painted the body Tamiya chrome silver (X-11). After 7 or 8 coats of clear I got a decent gloss to it. The decals were pretty straight forward. The red trim was a bit challenging, with a little micro-sol and heat they snuggled down quite nicely. I still have a bit of work to do to finish up the body but that will be later.
I've got the under side of the chassis done. Not much to see once you install the rock guards. Curiously Tamiya molds all of the guards in clear, but calls out paint for them. They don't mention the option of leaving them clear to view the driveline and suspension. I'm almost tempted to leave them off. Lots of nice detail hiding under there.
My favorite part of most Tamiya kits is the wheels and brakes. I love the fact that you get decals for the brake caliper, wheel and tire. A quick wash and clean build up give awesome results. To me these are the focus of the kit. It's what draws my attention first.
Today I move on to the interior. The figures are what worry me the most. I've never done one in my life. Looks like lots of good looking details will be seen on the inside...I'll post more pics when I've made more progress.
