KWT Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Just finished this one up over the weekend. I usually have a hard time painting anything red, but my last 2 turned out pretty good to me... Tamiya TS86 Pure Red no clear. Unfortunately, the hood kinda "glued" to the body during painting, and I decided not to try to pry it apart to keep from risking messing the paint up. Kit's a little challenging trying to get everything lined up perfectly... but it looks so dang good when it's done. On to the pics... As always, thanks for looking... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spencer1984 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I've got one of these on the bech now, hoping it turns out even half this clean. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Beautiful looking paint work and the shade of red looks like the 1:1 car that I have seen in pictures. The decals look like they laid down well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWT Posted November 16, 2022 Author Share Posted November 16, 2022 Thanks guys.. much appreciated! It's a nice kit. Making the grill, hood and body meet right is the only issue I had. I did a lot of looking on the forum for research before I started. Didn't find nowhere near as many as I expected. 23 hours ago, spencer1984 said: I've got one of these on the bech now, hoping it turns out even half this clean. Very nice!

alan barton Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Gee that looks sharp. I built mine a long time ago and I don't believe I did it justice. The Tamiya Red looks like a lot better colour than the old Testors Italian red that I used years ago. I really like that you painted the grille shell s it should be - I missed that detail on mine.
