geetee66 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 After a total cock up with the paint (I'm new to airbrushing..), which resulted in wet sanding back to primer, I figured out by how much I needed to thin decanted spray paint. I'm reasonably happy with it, except there was a warp in the chassis that only reared its ugly head during final assembly. Therefore, the bug catcher fouls the side of the hood opening. Oh well. Another lesson learned. I added a throttle arm, spring and some fuel lines, to give the engine a bit of detail. I used AK interactive true metal paint on some parts. It's very good.

shoopdog Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Turned out great, really like that color. I built one of these also but yours by far outshines mine with the added details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geetee66 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks chaps. I'm glad you like it It was a good test bed, for my airbrush skills. I thought this kit was very nice. The body looks spot on, to my eye. I might get another one and open the doors and trunk (but I have so many other projects to do, first!)
