Excellent tip, I'll be watching if you post your build Thanks

I've just laid down a 1k Zero paints clear coat on a spoon test & on some gloss black wheels. it went down a lot easier than the Zero Paints 2K did & without the hassle of mixing in a separate glass jar. It seemed more forgiving too. less material required for a reasonable shine. So I'm wondering, why bother with the 2k???? What's the benefit?

Well certainly the story behind the kit is brilliant, and if it made the ol' man happy, why not. Good job of trying to mix these old kits tool. I'm working on a cheap fujimi kit, and it is probably more pain than it's worth...

Great job on this! Quick question, did you put the decals straight over the red from gravity? No clearcoat first? No problem with "silvering"? Cheers!

it's got a full engine, but I don't know why, you can't really see it in the finished kit...

With the Stash at 130+ and not really going through them at a reasonable speed, I've been warned multiple times from the boss not to get another kit. Couldn't resist this one though... looking forward to building this kit... looks like a challenge.

Some great cars at my companies annual Vehicle Enthusiast day, the two GTs are company onwed, but there was a great mix of other cars, a few Ferraris, Aston Martins, and a lerge selection of Fast Fords...!

Thanks Dann! Made a bit more progress, I want to get the carpet done in the interior before moving onto the body. I know most people do the body first - probably 'cause it's the easiest thing to mess up... and also takes the longest to do - letting it gas out. Used alclad II dark aluminium for the exhaust - wanted to get a colour contrast in the engine bay. Started detailing the dash, it's coming along slowly & the break discs are almost finished...

Thanks for the answer, sometimes you don't need it - as your build shows... I'm wondering whether to do that myself or not on my current build!

great build, it all looks perfect!

nice clean model of a great looking car...

Looks great so far, we've all got our nemesis model half finished in the stash... at least you are persevering

Great Build, really clean. Quick question - did you use any washes on it? Cheers!

That engine bay is quality, love the build, well done!

Looks flawless, and realistic...
