Super cool Countach, looks the business. I do love the colour pearl white on those black wheels!

Thanks Bob, so far so good. I do love Tamiya kits for their great engineering

Hi Kari, Proscale are fairly similar to Zero Paints from Hiroboy. They are "airbrush ready" so perfect for Airbrushing, but they are not suitable for paint brush brushing like the LP paints from Tamiya are. I mostly Airbrush & find that I have to thin Tamiya LP by about 30 to 50% (up to 1 to 1) for airbrushing. So they smell just like LP, Zero paints they are not as bad as Tamiya Aerosol, but I use an Organic filter mask every time I use all of these paint. Tamiya Acrylics are obviously less harmful and less smelly, but airbost fin chemicals are bad for you eitherway, so I ALWAYS use my organic filter & also have excellent ventication too... hope that helps

despite the masking issue, still looks amazing, its a great looking kit, and you are doing it justice, looking forward to more!

It is going to be boring lightning blue - the colour of the box art - but don't worry, there is another GT in the stash that is likley to be more interesting! At the moment, I am doing some sub assemblies shown, but not doing and body painting until my Range Rover & Mitsubishi WRC are finished (I only have the capacity to do 2 body shells at a time...!

Thanks Bee!

Haven't finished a kit in a while, but still want to start new ones, I have a few of these kits in the stash, so its next up. As usual, excellent quality mouldings from Tamiya! I've run my usual process of removing from the sprue, cleaning up, cleaning, priming (with Proscale grey) and then painting. Lots of Tamiya X-18 from the airbrush, but also, some of the bigger parts were done with Tamiya Sei Gloss aerosol - i get better results like this. Also used some different Proscale metallics - like aluinium & steel. The body has also been scuffed, washed & is ready for painting - i'm just waiting to complete 2 inprogress builds before I attack the body...

I've done a lot o spraying, masking & more spraying. First image is of the chassis, its very siple, but I masked and picked out the exhaust in Silver using Proscale paints. 2nd and 3rd image is of the interior tub finshed. First it was sprayed Proscale grey primer, then tamiya X-18, then masked & painted white with Proscale white primer. Finally, the half cylinder was painted red - only to add a bright colour, not following any reference images. 4th, 5th & 6th Photos are of the body and the body parts. Currently now flashing off & awaiting soe Proscale 2K clear. these were pimered with Proscale grey, sanded, then proscale white primer, sanded, then Zero red (similar to a tamiya spray - italian red). I'm probably going to start building the chassis before finishing the body... happy with the quality of the finish so far...!

This build stalled because I need to get flocking into the Interior, and I'm still undecided as to whether I'll bother or not. In the meantime, this weekend, I got a few coats of primer on the body exterior after painting the inside the interior colour & then masking... ready for the metallic black...

The colour is fantastic, really suits the car. Great build so far!

Well, it was a great build until the mishap, now i hope the respray is successful!

Love the body colour, and lots of detail on this build!

Nice an clean, sharp Audi!

It is an excellent build, those wheels imo don't suit the R34 though! I know what you mean by Tamiya underbody detail, its excessive considering nobody looks underneath! I'd rather have an engine bay tbh.

Cool Sauber!
