Tom Geiger Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Nice work. I have to finish up my Trabant Universal. Super kit, these just fall together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebi Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Really nice build, I'm thinking about getting one of these myself, I've heard a lot of nice things about the kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knight_templar Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Just opening the box on this kit..Will be my first car kit and indeed, only my third ever kit at all for over 30 years (Yeah I'm old). So far just about to finish my second (Tamiya Suzuki Katana) after ruining the first (Airfix Mig aircraft). Would like to get the finish on the Trabby right, hey they came from the factory poorly finished and would like to replicate that. Soooooo...any tips on how to make it look like the gel coat finish they came in.. Whether to use...........Airbrush or brush, enamel, acrylic, weathering, damage repairs etc. would be greatly appreciated. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW....What is an Acrylic Enamel please? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
