Are you using rattle cans or air brush ??

hi all not much done so far today. but i have took some better pics looks alot better outside will be back later with more thanks stu

Instead of the thick coat of paint... built up the layers in light coats otherwise you will get runs and sags in it... when doing the strips once u have laied down the tape give a light dust of flat clear over the tape that will stop ' bleed through' and also in between coats of the colour wet sand to make sure its nice and flat..... Hope that helps Stu

few more got the body all wet sanded and polished up its only in doors lighting so will take a better pic tomoz if the suns out lol... finally i was going to put some custom wheels on but wen i tried to fit them they was to big for the shell so they will go on another one... but i got the box stock wheels all painted up body colour but i can't decide what ones i like better... so please can yall tell me what ones you think are better lol thanks for looking in... be back soon with some more thanks stu

hey there folks got a fair bit done on this beauty first off got the engine all done started work on the chassis did a little bit on the dash

I saw a trick were they cut the pully belt off and used either a small black elastic band or painted masking tape

my 2 novas hope they help stu

this is turning out amazing.... can i ask tho where did you run the battery wires to ?

Hi what i did at first was i sanded with 800 wet n dry to get rid of all the mould lines... then wet sanded with 1000 to flaten out all the scuffs. Then did the same with 1500, 2000 and 2500. Then washed it with warm water. Then once dry i cleaned the whole thing with pannel wipe... then applyed the primer let that set and sanded with 2500. Then applyed the paint. And thats as far as i got lol..... the paint i am using is 'AUTOMOTIVE SPRAY PAINT' i have used the same brand from the same shop on all of my models ... Thanks stu

When i do it i wet sand the body with 2500 then apply the decals, then wait a few hours and give it a few dust ciats of clear with 15min intervals. Once i have a good thick coat on i leave it for a week or 2. Then wet sand with 4000 up to 12000 and use rubbing compound then polish her out. Hope that helps buddy. Stu

sweet thanks buddy

hi thanks for the help... would it help if i was to prime with a fine filler primer ??

hi there all... i am desperate need of some help. tho kit i am doing i have rubbed it down with 800 to get rid of the mold lines, then with 1000 and 2000. but when i painted it its left with a horrible texture. as you can see i used this very same process on my previous model and turned out near flawless please could someone help me in fixing this thanks stu
