Sorry the decal company is SlotFabrik. I got them off of Hiroboy.

I started a new project today. Tamiya’s 1/24 Mercedes AMG GT3. I’m going to build it in the Riley Motorsports American Flag Livery, which are made by SlotFabrik and can be found on Hiroboy. Paint will be the same ScaleFinishes Ford Blue Flame Metallic that I used on my Raptor, as I can’t exactly find a color for this car. It Doesn’t look like much has been done, but all of the mold lines have been sanded and I have taken care of the panel lines with my panel scribe tool. I have also glued in the body panels that can be glued in before paint, and went ahead and filled these with putty to sand them down smooth. After the putty cured, I sanded them down and applied some super glue over top of the putty to keep the ghosting down. I have also went ahead and cleaned the mold lines and sink marks off of the cage. Then, assembled It inside of the interior tub to let it dry for the evening. Looking forward to build it as detailed as possible, hopefully as detailed as my Pennzoil R34. So this means lots of carbon fiber decal work, especially on the interior.

I finally finished my Aoshima 1/24 Brian James Trailer. It’s painted in Tamiya Acrylic Metallic Grey (XF-56). I decided against the standard color of Aluminum and the kit decals which were red. So, I taped it up and sprayed some black in place of them. The Decals on the sides are various Hobby Design decals, and the tool box is a Highlight Model Studios photoetch tool box. I wish I could get some pics of the whole rig and trailer together but my photo booth is a bit small lol. Enjoy, now on to the next build!!

still a great looking build! your paint looks great!

Looking great so far! The R34 Tamiya's have to be my favorite kit so far. Excellent to build up and look awesome when finished. I have built one of these and an R32 Z-Tune, and have 2 more in the stash for future plans. Looking forward to seeing your build finished up.

Great build! Love the details. Been wanting to pick this kit up myself.

Sweet build! Love the hellcat engine...where did it come from?

Super Clean build man! Any engine shots?

Yea, unfortunately South Carolina has to be one of the dumbest states for wanting to open stuff back up too quickly or soon.

Thanks Tom! I am still in the process of working on the trailer it is going to be towing. Hopefully by the weekend I can get it finished up and get some new pics in my new photo booth which is supposed to arrive today. The trailer is a quick build, but unfortunately, I have started back to work, so builds are now going to be as I can get to them, lol.

Looks like a super nice kit. Great, clean job on the build. Paintwork is amazing, can't tell it was a parts box buy! Makes me want to build one with a nice stance and some aftermarket wheels. Great job man!!

love the color and paint job. Looks like candy! Super clean build and great bare metal foil work too.

Little late responding, but thank you!!

Thanks guys!

Thank you very much!

Thank you JT. If I could have one it would be an exact copy of this one.

Thank you! This has made me look at other kits as well to see how nice they could build up.

Thank you! Me too, even tho I’m a Chevy guy, these trucks just look tough. Thank you!!

Thank you Chris!

Thanks Jim!!

Thank you very much Tom. It bugged me a little to see all these built with black flares and bumpers. It looks good, but my ocd was killing me lol. Glad I could inspire someone to build this kit. You won’t be disappointed. It builds up very easily and comes out with fantastic results as you can see. Jeff, thank you very much. The bed-liner was a first time for me. I have used this same method on a vinyl roof for a 70 Monte Carlo and it looked like it’d fit the bill for the spray in liner. You should build one of yours, you won’t be disappointed.

Super nice build. Love all of the stuff in the utility bed.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much Jim. This is a really well put together kit. I wouldn’t hesitate to build another one.

Thank you!
