Well I'm also building this model, and man mine is a crappppppp.
Altough, I'd like to improve, so I'm using for the first time the Tamiya Clear Coat. When you say that you polish after apply the clear coat, what you use to polish?
Just one more question...how many hours you spent in this model until now?
Thanks and keep the good work.

Thanks Nelson! Be very careful with that Tamiya clear - it is great stuff but is a bit too 'hot' for some types of decals.

After clearcoating I sanded lightly with 1500 and 2000 grit wet sandpaper to get rid of the raised edges over the decals and any 'orange peel'. Followed that with a polish with Tamiya Polishing Compound, and finally a buff up with Carnauba Wax.

The Tamiya Compound is good stuff - also works very well to remove scratches from clear parts.

How many hours? I don't know, about two to three months on and off so far.

What kind of seatbeat were you using in this??

Very nice car but you can put some Carbon Fiber on it ( Scale Motorsport)

Thanks for digging this thread up from the dead! Finished the Pug ages ago.

Surely I must have answered that question somewhere in the thread, maybe not. Can understand why somebody wouldn't want to read the whole thing though, it is damn long!

For the buckles I used the Peugeot 206 M&A photo etched set. Belts are painted Tamiya masking tape.

Completed model is on my website or just click the NZ 2000 Peugeot in my signature pic to go to the completed AF thread. Click on other cars to go to their pages

You want more CF? Just about every piece of carbon fibre that can be seen on the real car was CF decaled. You must have missed this post.
