Porscheman Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 (edited) This came in the mail yesterday and I couldn't wait to start it. I knock it out in 5 hours. I primed the body with Tamiya's primer white and then 3 coats of Tamiya's mica blue. All the window trim, wheel arches and front bumper were done with ultra-thin black Shaprie's and the interior and bed was painted Testors semi-gloss black lacquer. I plan on doing the wheels in black with a chrome outer rim. This is a real nice kit and with a little extra detail, brings it to life. Also, the sunroof is clear in the kit, I tinted it using Tamiya's Smoke. Thanks you for looking.

model-collector Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 That looks really good, great job. I agree this kit is very impressive for a snap kit, and yours shows how awesome it can look with a little extra work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
