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

Airfix Jaguar XKR GT3 1:32
Funkychiken replied to Funkychiken's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
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! -

Hey Eran, great build so far! How did you get those dash buttons painted so sharply? They look very good! -
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

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.
