  1. Thanks Alex! All-in-all, i'm not sure it was worth the heavy sanding to remove the dust. the paint shell has now been sanded with Tamiya wet & dry 1000, 1500, 2000, then micromesh 3200 3600 4000, 6000, 8000, then nuvous 1, 2 & 3. It's burnt through in 2 areas - so a quick question for those that read the posts - would you put 2 coats of 2k down? I normally do 1 mist coat - then multiple passes until it's glass like (once), so if you do 2 coats - how long would you wait between coats??? Pictures shown are fully polished now - no where near as shiny as "just sprayed". the final picture is the wheel cowels - these skirts were masked & painted. Hopefully this is my last air-brushing on this kit - the engine bay area inside the body shell will be hand painted flat black. Just assembly now...
  2. That is sharp looking paint work, looks great!
  3. Well, if this is your first build, it's going really well...

  9. Wishing you well for Christmas! Sorry about your place, and shame about your models... The F40 & the 959 were both special!
  10. I have a dead one that I've recently added to the wip section, my only problem is getting it finished by the end of the year...! I'm probably morning house in 1 months time, so I'm.bust prepping....
  11. The colour match on the interior to the real car is great!

  21. This is a fantastic car, and your build is doing it justice. Not long left now!
  22. Good luck with this kit! It will be less hassle painting by hand!
  23. I've been working away, and slowly making progress on this in the background. Resprayed the body shell with 2k Zero paints, got more dust in it - which is frustrating... but I've started to sand and polish, the engine cover and the skirts are the only pieces completed thus far - nice to see the shine come back again, but it's never as shiny as the paint finish when sprayed... wont be long now...
  24. Dash looks super detailed!
