Harpo Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 You always get the best pics of the interior before the model is done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpo Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 I wanted to tone down the "fake chrome" look of the wheels, so I tried some yellow Tamiya drybrush powder. I chose yellow because the body will be green with gold accents, but the color isn't really noticeable here. It seems to work very well at knocking down the excess reflections, a much more realistic look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Good choice to knock those wheels down, they will look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 More progress, all chassis components shortened and installed. Needs lots of touch-up, but that's always an issue with these water based paints! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 I saw the real one yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Thanks for the pic Rex! In the last month or so, I've been collecting pics of this car. I never knew it existed and stumbled across it by accident looking for something else. Now it's on my mind and it's yet another must do car in my world. When that'll be is anyone's guess, but I like to get as many pics as possible for something I'm interested in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Very cool subject, didn't know something like that existed. Love the color choices. What brand of paint is the body and interior? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harpo Posted October 16, 2018 Author Share Posted October 16, 2018 Painting and detailing in progress. I did some trials using gloss clear over Molotow chrome and it seems to work fine, so overall gloss coats are next! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted October 17, 2018 Author Share Posted October 17, 2018 Two features I couldn't resist using in this kit are those great headers and that artfully crafted transverse exhaust system. Not really compatible, but I solved that; I now have cutouts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harpo Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) This one is DONE! Many thanks to all who have watched and complimented! Edited October 18, 2018 by Harpo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
