Tamiya focuses on accurate proportions and visible details, so the kit gives a faithful representation of exterior shapes and major mechanical features of the MP4/8 when built carefully.

Achieving an authentic 1993 livery benefits from the correct paint shades and decal technique. Consult references for the MP4/8 colours and consider enamel or acrylic paints suitable for plastic kits.
