Time to show a little (very little!) progress on this one
Painted the bulk of the interior in Tamiya 'Rubber' black. I really like this shade of black as it is really an off-black, and does not look too dark.
To contrast, other parts have been sprayed Tamiya semi-gloss black.
Added a little visual interest to the door panels, with a silver strip sticker. This should be chrome on the real car. The carpet was done with embossing powder, and then airbrushed over. This is the first and last time I'll use that stuff. The finish seems to be so delicate that its just flaking off. Maybe I did not use enough glue. I used PVA (wood glue). Perhaps I should have used something stronger??
Assembling the rear suspension, I noticed that the transmission shaft has a joint in the middle of it, that would not be there on the 1:1 item.
Fixed! with a little filler and re-paint.
Kit supplied decals added for the gauges, and then sealed with a layer of clear.
Wheels done. Airbrushed in Zero's 'white aluminium'. The lug bolt heads were done with Molotow pen. This is the first time I've used that stuff - its good! Shame the tyres don't have any side wall markings - seems to be the way of all new kits nowadays.
That's all for now. Thanks for watching by build.
