I like the ride height now! simple tweak, and it looks a lot better

Finally, the third try for both paint and clear was the charm,  wet-sanding is next( ok, already done since I took the photo)

Looks beautiful, Jonathan, even before wet-sanding!

DO not sand thru, do not sand thru do not sand thru so not sand thru, do notsand thru....do not sand  thru

Paul, thank you, and I agree, its hard to see in my oh so deceiving photography, there was a large of amount of orange peel/semi rough texture on the clear coat, and a lot of debris, I mean a lot,  its the hardener that has dried around the cap area and fell into the bottle, its time for a new bottle.

I know , right Bruce , I was thinking that the entire time too, one of the up sides to using the 2k ( urethane clear) is it gives more room to wet sand without burn thru, no doubt if I had use any other type of clear I would of burned thru

Nice paint.

[Italianhorses]

Great color! Need to get this kit as well.

[FabbricaP]

Nice color choice! Looking great so far

[da_ashman]

Looks Great in Red, I had one of those thunder past me on the road the other day, made me go WOW!, As a model & as a 1:1 parked up its certainly nice looking, but driving past it just had such presence & great sound too! Cant imagine how much better the GTR version would be like!

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Nice work going on here,  good corrections to remedy some short comings

[mustang1989]

Paint looks so wet it could drip! Wow!

[Dann Tier]

Looking SUPERB!!!

[martinfan5]

Thank you guys

 

Progress , yay!,  I done did it again, I ruined the roof C/F decal, Mark Softner, was working too good and I rip it while I was smoothing it out, so I used Testor's Graphite Met over Mr Black Surfacer and the polished it out, I should of clear coated first I feel.

Coming along beautifully!

[kelson]

Build looks real nice in that color!.

[Rider]

Ah man sorry to hear of the mishap.  It still looks fantastic, nice work on the roof recovery. 

[Ich_Will]

Great color, but it looks like you parked it in South Chicago...windows out, hood and wheels stolen. ?

[tkzwolf]

Your paint looks great.

I just started this kit.  Your tip on how to correct the fit at the front of the chassis saved me a bunch of time figuring it out.  Thanks.

I'm using the Hobby Design upgrade set but still debating on the Plamoz wheels.

[mrmike]

This is looking great Jonathan!  I have the same kit in the stash.  I was going to use the Prior Design kit from C1 Models, but now I am having second thoughts about it.  I may have to look for some aftermarket wheels for this kit though and I do like the lowering process that you used.  Looking forward to more progress from you on this!

[Dann Tier]

Excellent detailing!!...especially under the hood!!
