(Tamiya TS-16 Yellow equivalent), Zero
Paints Aluminium ZP-1302 (Tamiya
TS-17 Gloss Aluminium equivalent),
Tamiya TS-26 Pure White and Zero
Paints Semi-Gloss Black ZP-1050
(Tamiya TS-29 Semi-Gloss Black
equivalent). Once these had dried, all

that remained was to apply the decals.

I conclude by saying that it was a real

pleasure and a great honour to have

collaborated with a large company that

produces models such as Italeri. I had the

chance to express my passion and I invite

all you model friends to do the same! ●

Italeri’s remarkable 1:12 kit depicts pretty much every major structure and system of the

1980 Renault RE23, making the project quite a learning experience as well as a satisfying

modelling project
