l build box stock, so the cost of paint,glue and foil is the only extras. l buy kit l can at hobby lobby with a 40 percent off. but 20-25 bucks is about my limit...
The first time l built the Miami Vice Testarossa it was terrible. That was back when l was getting back into model building. l have another one to try. l am glad it didn't stop me. Some day l will try again.
I have seen some really nice paint finishes from Randy b who lives in canada who goes outside for a quick spray and SFD who also lives in canada. They used a can paint not airbrush. Wait and see what happens..
