This is a Renaissance resin and white metal kit.  As you can see, it is pretty flashy…

It is also very thin in some places, about 0.002 inches (or maybe less) around the rear wheel wells.

Cleaned up and a base coat of primer…

Since the car is satin/flat carbon fiber black, I put a base coat of semi-flat black down.

Some of the brass and stainless parts have been attached and some of the mounting points for little parts have been drilled out too.

The interior is made up of resin, white metal and PE parts.  Even the wire is included.  Yes, that is a cell phone to the right of the seat.

Nice work so far !

 

It kind of looks like some sort of Bat Mobile in black  :)

I was also going to say that the matte black pic looks like a Batmobile prototype. :D

The headlights were missing from the kit so I made replacements.  The clear parts are installed as well as the chrome finish areas.  BMF was used for the chrome.  Some was applied before the clear parts; other portions were applied over some of the clear parts.

Time to start applying the decals… Almost two hours to get these four decals on and to conform.

Very cool! It looks like it was a little rough. The decals look good. How hard was it to get them to stick to the flat black?

Not a big issue to get them to work over the semi-flat black.  I used solvents to help them not silver.

 

More decals… certainly not a quick builder kit, but getting close to applying all of them.

Also have the wheels and tires done…
