Just completed work on my latest custom re-painting a G1 Reissue Inferno into the Japanese Targetmaster Artfire, mainly did it because my Ricochet Reissue needed a friend :D
Basic repaint using all tamiya spray cans and bought a cheap Targetmaster on ebay for him (Targetmaster belongs to Blurr)
Am very happy with the way he came out, just have to make the Japanese decal for the side of the cab

Enjoy,

Mike，

I got your pm. Heres the close up photo of that sticker that you wanted.

This is the only sticker that is visible to me without having to crack open the acrylic case.

I'm assuming your trying to create a very precise replica.

From memory the kneepads, and the front shoulder pads are suppose to be grey, as well as the round thingy on the side of the shoulders.

Good luck with it, it looks fantastic.

I just used Tamiya whit primer to get the cab all white then painted the matt white over the top and i work perfect. I know from projects in the past painting anything white with tamiya paints is a pain in the a$$.
The window was masked from the outside and painted inside with tamiya clear blue i did the same with my Optimus Prime voice changer and you can still see through it
