Very well done. Are those tires from the kit?
I also like the builds in the background, got a Tiger waiting to be built myself.

Very nice model. What colors did you use to paint the seats and the steering wheel? I really like the looks of them .

Thanks guys!

Bob, those are the kit tires. They have a groove molded in the sidewall which I filled flat blue paint and then buffed off the side wall and applied the letter decals.

Roger, the steering wheel and shift knob are painted with MM "Leather" and the seats and dash are painted with Testers "Rubber" both are enamal. The paint for the seats and dash was reduced with laquer thinner and airbrushed the steering wheel and knob were brush painted and then I used a tooth pick to pick out the paint on the steering wheel rivits.

Joe. the ink jet printed paint code on the bottom of the can is smeared and I can't read it so I am not able to give you the specific color. Sorry.


This is an older build I had never posted on here. I forgot that that was my first attempt at flocking, the tub is flocked but that's why it looks like a begginer did it. :)
