   Outstanding Mark. The textures and look you can stuff into such a small package........

[Metalsoft]

I have a quick question, I am new to building models, how did you rough the tire surface up like that? That is a really nice touch...

[cobraman]

I would like to know about that tire texture as well. Great looking model but then all your stuff does.

[DumpyDan]

Well done, and like it and like they have noticed the tires look good.  This is the first one I have seen complete and you have knocked out of the park

[Scale-Master]

I just sanded the "tread" area of the tires.  Part of the way they come out with that texture is the material they are molded from I think. 

 

Thanks guys, and Dan, remember this is a very rare 1/43rd scale metal kit, not the 1/24 mass-produced Monogram plastic kit.

All that detail in such a tiny scale... I don't know how ya do it, but I'm glad ya do.  

IIRC, you used Tamiya lacquers on the body.  For small scale projects like this, do you decant them and airbrush the paint?

A great looking build , so smooth for such a small scale , well done .

I used the slivers out of the can except for touch-up/blending.  That requires an airbrush.  I also airbrushed the gray.

Cool car Mark, I've never seen this before.
