Porscheman Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I bought this one at a swap meet Friday night. It was never painted and was in very nice condition. I painted it Tamiya Bright Red and no clear. The interior was done in Testors Honduras Maroon lacquer with 1:1 automotive white pin stripe for the seat accents, of course I tinted my windshield with 3 very light coats of Tamiya's Clear Blue for a realistic looking tinded galss. Let me know what you think. Al Edited October 21, 2014 by Porscheman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Nah! Looks pretty crummy to me. Or at least it should, completing it in one day!! I couldn't do that in a million years! At least not well! Another nice job Al. But do us all a favor & take a break. You're making us look bad! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
