Im still undecided on that, but leaning toward just finishing as is....

This was sanded (carefully) from Tamiya Wet and dry 1000 grit, 1500, 2000, then Micromesh 3200, 3600, 4000, 6000 & 8000. Then Tamiya compounds Coarse, Fine & finish. The first 2 images show how shiny I got it. It is "scuffed" and scratches, but with a clean shine. Its not perfect, as the bumpy areas were not sanded thouroughly to avoid burn through. I did actually burn through in 1 bit, the last 2 photos show the burn through and the prep to re-coat this area... Happy so far!

The Body was coated with Tamiya Aerosol metallic black, it seemed to go OK (first pic). But the clear coat - Tamiya Clear Aerosol did not go down so well. The last pictures you see here are all after micromesh (3200 to 8000) then Tamiya polishing system Coarse, Fine, Finish. I'm not happy with the result, but its not the end of the world, I'll be finishing the kit as is. Next up is masking and the trim parts...

So now the interior, chassis and engine are assembled, just waiting to get started on the body shell! Wish me luck, my clear coating has been awful recently...

Thats a neat charger!

Superb build, love the attention to detail!

Its a beautiful car to see on the roads... I've only seen one at work (I work for Ford) they have a yellow one that is often used at shows. looks stunning "in the flesh"!

Interior tub is now finished, the extra details took some effort, they don't look perfect, but through the windows they will look good enough. The body shell was clear coated with Zero 2K on the BH weekend. not great results, mostly heavy orange peel. going to have to get the sanding and polishing kit out...

Looking amazing! Tha js for sharing all the detail and steps you are taking, love reading along!

Cool build, i do like this livery. These Fird GTs look the biz.

Looks fantastic, especially for the scale. Those mods make the model much better. That paint finish looks amazing, im assuming it isnt clear coated? Looks much better than from the aerosol can.

Wow, that dash is something else! Great build as always!

That's much better than the kit suggested grey. Cool build!

Its a cool build, snd you have given it a custom type colour, so it's almost in keeping with your other builds

Cool charger! Looks mean and moody in those colours
