that's a good question, but I haven't seen this kit for sale for a while.they would probably do the trick

could be many things like incompatible paint, base coat not gassed out completely, clear coat too hot, clear coat not diluted with thinners, humidity. test with another base cose manufacturer, or test with leaving the base coat longer keeping everything else the same (like an OFAT experiment)

Most certainly is impressive, it's a fun build to watch, thanks for posting the detail and all the steps!

It's coming along nicely!

Gold on green looks the business!

Looks great! Also never seen one of these built!

superb scratch building!

Looks absolutely beautiful!

Hi, thanks for the comment. I have used a pair of 92 corvette wing mirrors, slightly modified. They are not anything like the originals, but the kit will look better with them than with nothing.

Hi, thanks for the comment! The headlights will be a challenge, but I have a plan A, and plan B, more to come!

Looks amazing!

Fantastic build so far, looks like the body parts are coming out of the box fighting you! Engine looks amazing!

Cool project! The chassis looks great!

Is absolutely beautiful!

Is a good start! It's the fit and finish up to Tamiya's usual high quality?

So I won't be able to touch it, or the Alcald II will rub off, but I'm calling this done. Enjoyable build, and my best ever paint finish! happy with how it turned out.

Lots of work, but not much to show for it! the interior tub is taking shape, I've cut out the moulded-in handbrake and scratched one. I've removed the moulded in gear stick and found a replacement from the spares box I've also added a rear view mirror (unseen) from the parts box. I've painted the interior roof grey (hand painted). And ended up hand painting the rear light. I might try to darken them with Tamiya Acrylic Smoke, they look a bit bright in the photos but better in real life.

Thank you Mr Slusher, I'm sure when I get around to it, assuming I don't burn through the clear, it will polish up nicley!

Wow, that paint finish is amazing. Its a cool colour combo, and super sharp finish, love it!

Another sharp build, loving the Bronco!

It could be, I don't filter the paint for ABing it was more like lumps than dust. You are probably right

beautiful details!

looks fantastic in orange, its a fantastic looking build

What a beautiful pair of GTs, love them, and I too like this in Yellow. There's often a yellow 2016 version in my workplace carpark, its more beautiful in real life!

I thought I'd try to paint this with Tamiya Acrylic base coat with Zero 2K clear. the base coat was a bit of a struggle, this paint does attract dust mush more that a zero paint base coat, so it took a few coats extra - after sanding out the dust and re-coating. the thing with this base coat is that it changes colour slightly after sanding - goes a bit darker. so it took a while. I shall not be using tamiya acrylic again for a base coat. Prior to this, I coated my Bugatti and it came out beautiful. But this was a nightmare. used the same method, 2 or 3 tack coats with 5 mins in-between then 2 heavy coats. it looked great on application, but after drying its probably the worse finish iIve had for years using 2k. so i'll get to sanding next.
