Steve H. Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I've always said if I had stupid amounts of money, this is the car I'd own. An excellent kit, I enjoyed building this one. Painted Tamiya Gun Metal with a Tamiya Maroon interior. The P/E grills are beautiful, but almost too fine to see. All things considered, though, Tamiya did a great job on the detail of this kit. Some of the trickier items... The P/E scripts for the engine! Be prepared to go blind trying to see the placement on these, and the frustration of trying to burnish them down. Hope you like it...

MyBradKeselowski Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 Looks great :D I like the interior color, I just don't like the wheels. Wished Tamiya did wheels like Aoshima... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsepower Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Great build, like that gunmetal it looks "rich". Did you clear coat it or just polish the gunmetal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testors Ultra gloss clear over Tamiya Gun Metal. I polished it out with a couple different polishing coumpounds. This is the first time I've had a paint job good enough to skip the whole multi-grit cloth routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
