seanyb505 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 What pink primer did you use? I've recently seen it advocated a lot for red bodies and have a countach on the bench... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinfan5 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Progress, its been slow, but some was madeLets start with the brakes, P/E rotors, I did not paint them, its just the reflection of the paint from the middle part , Mr Hobby Burnt Iron on the calipers, and MM Metalizer Burnt metal on the inside, it says to mix gold and silver, I was lazy( ok, no, I tired mixing them but was not liking the color I was getting)Seat installed, and some other bits installed, I decided I didnt want to mess with the P/E seatbelt hardware so I use the decals instead.And now we have something that looks like a almost completed interior, I am waiting on the liquid mask to dry on the interior panels so I can finish painting them.And just a mock up Monday shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 The DTM came to both Silverstone and these cars in their day and Donnington about 10 years ago. Fabulous race series, but unable to see here as it's on BT Sport channel for mega bucks each month.The decaling looks fab! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
