70 Sting

Yes, it is possible to screw up a Tamiya kit. Don't know where I went wrong, but the body didn't fit the chassis very well - resulting in the doors and hood not closing flush. Also had to leave one of the chassis mounting points out of position in order to sit all 4 wheels on the ground. Make plenty of other mistakes along the way including reactivating the paint with heavy applications of clear. During final assembly I must have got some glue on the top right of the trunk. I tried to spot repair the area, however the application of the metallic paint looked so obvious that I didn't include it in the photos. I assume this is because the metal flakes in the paint aren't running in the same direction? Body is Tamiya TS-42 Light Gun Metal cleared with TS-65 Pearl Clear. Chrome is original from the kit. Wheels are TS-42 and AK Xtreme Matt Aluminum. Interior is darkened Tamiya LP-21 cleared with X-35 Semi Gloss. There's always the next one. 8^)

Nice build. Really like the outdoor photo. Anyone who can use BMF deserves a medal. 🙃

So, the theme is: no matter where you go, the vehicle is gonna breakdown. ;^) All kidding aside, this is a cool build and your 4th photo, the one with the Autumn trees is the distant background, sets a new standard for you! 👍
