Got a lot of problems with this one, first the decals from indycals is an entire piece of decals, you need to cut near the printed logos, otherwise you got all the film. The rear wing was terrible to do because of it. Also, the Olympus logo is printed on a brownish black that contrast a lot with the TS14 I used. The tmaiya decals seems a bit different in color than the indycals one, but not really after you applied them, I should have only use the indycals decals for the John Player logos. I follow the tamiya order and it cause me some trouble...youc an easily broke some small parts when you glue the rear parts behind the cockpit...its better to glue the tiny parts after installing the two big parts together. In the end the result is not that bad, but It was not the most fun build I did. Glad I finish it.
