Got the body and bonnet clearcoated, tested it on the spoon i had painted before doing the model, just to check if it was compatible, luckily it was, i will let this all dry out before wet sanding and polishing it, there's a couple of dust nibs that need removing, the wet sanding will sort that out

I'll be doing more now I can get the paint, I have the 53 Hudson hornet, Studebaker Avanti, 49 Mercury woody wagon, an a few others,

Got the body and bonnet painted today, got the fuel tank masked ready for painting, the bodyshell will be left for a few days to dry out before getting a couple of coats of clearcoat

You could be fooled into thinking the photos of the finished model is actually the real thing, superb build ....

Used them many times, very good service

Very nice, looking forward to seeing more on this build

My first time airbrushing paint bought from MCW, absolutely brilliant paint to use, used through my Passche VL-S double action, also this is the first time I've done the paint fade on the floorpan, hopefully it looks something like it should, i could have painted it satin black, as underseal was an option at the factory, but I've been wanting to try this technique for a long time now, the bulkhead was painted a more glossy finish, now i can mask up the floorpan and chassis and get the interior built up, I'm looking forward to trying this paint out on the bodyshell

Very nice build ....

Can't believe I've spent most of the day just doing the bmf on one of the interior side panels, also got the steering wheel fitted, the chrome on the horn ring was done using the liquid chrome pen

What's not to like, superb build with great detail ......

perhaps because so many convertibles were made in real life ?

On a separate note, Did anyone make a 1:25th kit of the '57 300C Convertible ??, I've done a search on the 'net, and so far came up with nothing

Thank you, but with a little work, it now looks a little better, chrome was done using the Molotow liquid chrome pens

Superb work Gaz .....

Air Filters assembled Air Filters fitted

no, you wouldn't see them anyway,

Just waiting for the oil filter and air filters to be installed Dash Masked up so the light tan can be airbrushed Probably one of my best masking jobs ... Engine installed in the chassis Started the bmf on the bonnet (Sorry, Hood) All four wheels fitted, and as a bonus, they all tough the ground at the same time ...

they had a stand at the ipms nationals at Telford last year, thought I'd give them a try, I'm glad I did, just a tip, you need to build up the black basecoat in fine layers, leave to dry for half an hour or so, and then do the wet coat, then leave to dry for 72 hours before starting the chrome.

they are, I was very disappointed when i found that out .....

when ever anything Esci comes up on eBay, they go for silly money, luckily my Gordini had the wheels that come with the kit, the decals might be a problem, I ended up selling it for a brand new Peugeot 205 Gti

Nice clean build, any wip photos ?

Nice to see the old Esci Renault 5 re-released, now I can make a model of my old Gordini,hopefully I can find someone who can make up the decals for it

and mine, I've emailed Heller a few times requesting they release this one, I even posted the same on their Facebook page, I bought a second hand on last week, luckily I only paid £13 for it
