This is my kind of build, I love daily runners, looks great, very realistic

I hope that's royal blue! It's a great build, there was one of these at my local Screwfix a few years back, it was a huge car! I couldn't believe it.

Purple is my favourite colour, and I like the clean lines of your subject, cool build!

The distance on these is high anyway, but I think that's a muscle car thing, right? What stops the bonnet from sitting flush? Still a nice build, and I love the colour

That's a cool build, I like the way you can leave the body off, the details are great!

Excellent build!

It's a good start, and the colour kind of suits it

Looking good Dann, on the home straight!

This is going to be cool, I'll follow along!

Beautiful paint finish on the Nissan!

That's a stunning build!

I've been there with the paint problems! I'm sure most of us have, glad you stuck with it, turned out a stunner!

That cutter is cool, the paint work is amazing!

Thanks Bruce and Dann!

The CF looks great so far!

Wow, this is looking amazing so far, I followed Dann's build, and will follow this one too, enjoy and keep posting!

So with a bit of patience, some Alclad Dark Aluminium, and some Tamiya X-18, I've finished the chassis. I orginally coated the chassis with Zero Gloss 1K, this makes a smoth surface that other paints do not stick to, so some areas did peel when I removed the masking, and so I've touched up by hand (i may have to remask and spray tho... Following this, the only painting left is seatbelt buckles & the body shell... so assey will start soon

Chassis was painstakingly masked, I did the front end and front wheel wells earlier in the week, today its the drive-train

Thanks Bruce, I've busy on this! some progress, and agree that it's a pain that some of the engine is moulded in, it makes it far more difficult to paint. First, the seats, I wanted a splash of orange in the interior, so I've put some Tamiya X-6 Orange. It's a bit bright, but I think it's better than a dull interior. Masked ready for the X-18 Semi gloss black

I can't believe haw good your paint finish is! it's a great car, and cool mods...

That's a cool looking car!

Fantastic car, looks great!

It's an amazing finish, colour really pops out and the details like the CF make it look great!

great build, can't go wrong with Tamiya quality!

Well the paint looks fine in the pictures, looks like a great build!
