Nicely done Mario! Cheers -
Hi Charles, no not yet. Suffered a "minor" set-back during one of my final test fitting phases... I managed to crack one of the rear over fenders. Had to do body work (as I had blended the fenders in), then while I was at it I did a complete repaint. Everything else is coming together, maybe by the end of the month it will be ready. Cheers

Hallo Wallid, das geht ja gut voran. Hast du schon mal überlegt, es mit Molotow-Chromstiften für die Bettschienen zu versuchen? Das erfordert zwar immer noch etwas Abkleben, ist aber vielleicht nicht so schwierig. Hier ist ein Bild von einem, an dem ich das ausprobiert habe. Am besten, -
Just know that you are not alone... ?

Tamiya 1/20 Lotus 79

Hi John, Thank you! ? Sometimes the conditions for spraying a paint job like this are perfect, this one was such instance ? Yes, the decals came with a black background. See the link below: https://www.indycals.net/decals/f1/78lotus79.html Michael at IndyCals is makes a great product, and has great customer service! Cheers -
Thanks Mike! I tend to use Tamiya TS-13 gloss clear right out of the can, or Testors Extreme Laquer clear. Then wet sanding/polishing to a certain extent depending on how the color/clear coats go on. The black cars are all Tamiya TS-14. All of these cars were sprayed with rattle cans, except for the belt lines on the Nova (can't remember if it was Tamiya clear orange, or Testors Colors by Boyd Orange Pearl...), and the Vantastic, they were airbrushed. Cheers

Those are really cool! I wish it would be possible to obtain a modern Holden Ute here. Although they are GM products, the design is very unique.
