  1. Minor update on this kit. I did a spoon test on my creamy yellow - looks great in the bottle, but its too yellow on the spoon. So i pivoted and now going with Tamiya TS-40 spray can which is metallic black Next up is probably focking and assembly of the interior I have some other nearly finished kits before I start coating the body shell
  2. SPrayed with Alclad Black Base that was purchsed as a base for chrome. it required light coats with 6 to 7 mins drying in-between coates. I oversprayed it, had to sand it back and go again. I pre-assembled the wing - but really struggled to paint it without getting poor coverage in the corners or rough finish everywhere - had to be really light coats & lots of sanding inbetween. Not looking forward to clear coating it... ready for decals!
  3. Fantastic interior mods!
  4. Fantastic engine!
  5. Absolutely beautiful build so far! Green on black will look special too!
  6. The interior parts have been unmasked, and clear coated with Alclad Semi matt next up is spoon test for body colour!
  7. Hey Eran, great build so far! How did you get those dash buttons painted so sharply? They look very good!
  8. To be honest, I did get a little annoyed at my Aoshima GT35 build, the paint job being a bit crappy has pushed me to start another build. I have made the grey version of this, but wanted to make this black version too. These little Airfix 1:32 scale kits are reasonably well detailed. Allows me to practice my clearcoat skills too. The interior has been started and the build shiots will be added soon... Box Art: Chassis: The interior tub was painted with Tamiya LP - thinnned 50%, and masked for Tamiya Acrylics As you can imagine, the roll cage was made up in the interior tub, then removed for painting
  9. OK, so back from Bulgaria & straight to Mardid for Business, but got some progress on this and another model on the go. Chassis is now built the floor plan is also prepped for body colour - hope to get a test spoon sprayed this weekend. The interior parts were masked for black bits - they were sprayed today with X-18 results hopefully tomorrow! shown is the centre console, the dash & the steering wheel, not pictured are the door cards.
  10. Sweet ride! Love the colour combo!
