thnx guys and yes it did , i was like whow that looks spot on .. also made a mix with oil paint > bright red with a dash of black and made dark red and washed the wheels i'm happy they still are crisp and sort of shiney ...but not so sterile anymore after the first wash after 2 washes , wheelnuts will be chrome and not going to ad centercaps , that kind of killed the look .. dryfit of the parts now i'm thinking about the chassis ... the floor and tunnel will get the same wash as the body but chassis wise i'm not sure what to do , wash it or paint it black .... hmmmzzz i could wash the chassis and make the tunnel and floor like bare steel so its not all that brown i need to find the right combination of tones to get it looking exiting and not to brown overall maybe even do the grill shell in chrome to beak everything a bit

well this morning i was playing with some brown oil paint and wanted to see how a wash would look , especially how the deeper lines would look darker .. that came out so cool i decided to ditch the idea of the green paint and flaked paint .. i just love this look , a bit vintage , no rust but just a weathered and dirty look .. opinions are welcome , just aplied it on the pics when its all dry , may take 2 days with the oil paint , i can use super fine paper and sand the higher lines so they are a bit highlighted again ..

thnx

thnx guys and yes the molded seat belts are not nice , sanding them off isnt goint to work , the material is to thin so i will be making my own seats from scratch .. that also fits better in this build because there is almost no kit stuff left , beside the body and wheels lol and yes blair really bringing it to life wotj colors and painted details is always so much fun .. but i have to stick to the plan and first get the green going ... so when you use salt you spray some water on it so it stays on right ?? because its tricky i have to salt the outside and top and then lay it on its roof and first spray the inside and flip it and do the outside ..

cool !! i like it

a nother awsome build !

awsome progress !

nice job !!

nice colorcombi !!

awsome progress .

all dry , put together for a dryfit ..the plan is to put salt on the whole outside of the body , the grille frame and spray it matt green (army color) so the inside and chassis is plain green and can be given some washes and the outside of the whole body and grille frame is chipped .. then loads of detail painting with crome and other colors .. steel bomber seats ... i love how the front chassis came out with those industrial looking braces underneith

the chassis and body together in dryed primer did a basecoat of matt army khaki paint on the body and chassis , to work on .. still wet on the pics it will dry up super matte you can also see i kind of made the left doorpanel go inwards to create like a indented panel and also made a crease on the front this week i was squeezing a bit to hard on the roof and the back glue seem of the topchop cracked just a bit , you can see on the pic in the rear i didnt lined it up right so i will have to fix that chassis , really tight and i cant waight when the basic chassis color and weathering is done to really go for painting the details like chrome parts and black and all the tones to bring that to life this build method is kind of a way i developed myself to build as much on it as i can and afterwards paint small details with a hand brush , works best for me because i really had issues in the beginning fitting painted parts together

thnx and whow those seats are awsome .. but .. me being a cheap ass and wanting to think out of the box i would not buy seats for that price , i'd rather try and make something of my own but cool they def. are !!

hey < thnx and yes those are the wheels of this kit they are just so nice ! airlines with bras tubes , kept it simple , the compressor would be build under the floor / airtank in the back .. made one you could see but that just looked messy , even though its a rat .. body on and the body is primered made some dents while building and now in primer you can see them like here on the left low side on the rear the door at the bottom not really sitting right , also did that on purpose and hey original bodys are also not perfect fitment wise right ? caddilac lights dryfitted close up , not sitting center in the hole on the final placing they will be either i will use these seats (from the kit) or i will make scractch build seats , not sure yet chassis primered , still wet on these pics , now it really becomes one

cool !!

awsome result , looks amazing !!

well you dont need any advice because that floor looks superb !!!!!!!

cool !! nice pics outside !

awsome !!

whow how clean .. looks incredible !! love it

very very cool ~~

looks very fiddely

awsome !! love it and yes that wood needs some coats of stain and some filth haha

nice work !! btw i still dont understand where the rat stands for ?? (kit name)

thnx guys much apriciated !!! and renato , yes i will use those seats from the kit .. or maybe (not sure yet) build my own the kit seats are a not really bomber seats but more those small buckets .. problem was i had several cool seats but due to the tunnel they where to wide . the kit seats fit like a glove and yes that link is going in my favorite list , i have been looking for those for ages !! one downside is i will have to get it send to holland so probable not for this build .. but those pin ups are cool for future builds !
