Really nice builds, great finish, love the wheels...

The body shell has been a battle. I've been trying to deepen the panel lines, and ended up having to fill my mistakes. You can see how it turned out in the sun roof... not great. So I've decided just to paint it as is. It's Zero Paints primer, then a couple of coats of Tamiya spray can silver - with a light sanding in-between coats... I'll let this sit for a few weeks then go over it with the boston green...

Lots of progress, but not many photos... Zero Paints Beige is down on the interior, the dash masked & completed the Semi gloss black Exhaust took ages, I was trying to fill the gaps & kept breaking them, they've been sprayed in Zero gloss black ready for alcladII alu finish... The wheels will be gloss black, they might need another couple of coats to give them depth, they don't look great in the photos...

Agree, it's a top build, and you did do it justice! I have it in my stash, but it's a holy grail build for me too, so I haven't started it yet...

Great detailing, decals and paintwork on this subject, love the car, and a great quality build...

Looks great in Satin...

Great build, and love the car... Did you clear coat the body over the tamiya green?

High quality build considering it's the Revell version! Nice mods too...

Another hot build, looks great so far...

Great art work, an it's not red!

Thanks for the tips all, I think I'm going to invest in a scribe-r. A wide variety of heroics here, thanks for sharing...

thanks twokids! oneone moremore update, I really likelike how this isis turning out...

That's too funny, maybe CobraMike doesn't have a million kits in his stash... most of us have that illness

Interior tub complete too. Very basic, I didn't add any seatbelts or flocking this time...

Hi All, I hope someone can help me, there are lots of tips, tutes etc that suggest one can deepen a panel line by "using the back of a hobby knife". I had never really tried it, as when I had, it is nigh on impossible to keep the blade in the "groove" (obviously there isn't much of a groove - that's why i'm trying to deepen it) and I used to end up cutting outside the panel lines so much, that it ruins the body - it's quite difficult to use filler to fill an incorrectly cut groove - right next to where a panel line is. Anyway, I digress, I tried to do it more recently, but the result is terrible. please see photos, is there at technique or method or video of it being done properly? what am I doing so wrong to get it so bad...? thanks...!

A few more updates, the wheels have been de-chromed, it took several months in brake fluid... the interior is now primed with Alclad II white.

Thanks all for the comments, the PE clips are cable ties from Crazy Modeller, I just cut them down...

Great build so far, always wondered the same REF the p/e number plates...

Looks great!

Thanks, I'm going with beige interior and white exterior... a few more updates, engine ready for installation, but need to start on the interior first...

Made lots of progress. The reason it took so long was that for some reason I took ages to deal with the sink marks and seam lines by filling with different fillers. I ended up getting some Mr Putty, and it's not great, but moved on... lots more to post soon. Used alclad II for the aluminium & airbrushed X-18 for the chassis. But used Tamiya silver for the engine cage.

Great build and subject

I like thus kit and your version of it, cane out great considering the kit's age...

Nice subject, and good luck with that long list of subjects to learn...

Really great build so far, love this car...
