The black and gold is always a good combo.

Can't wait to see more.

Decal job is almost done.. Im still waiting couple decals from mail.. They dont do much for look, since they are tiny ones, so here its now how its going to look..

Janne..... those gold decals on the black body of this car look really good, and the highly detailed interior for this build is very high quality workmanship on your part.

I have ordered an Aoshima Mitsubishi Pajero SWB kit from an Ebay seller in Italy, which I am waiting to receive around end of April. This will be my first experience with an Aoshima kit and if the specification of the Mitsubishi kit is anything like your Volvo kit, then I will be happy.

Thank you.. This is first Beemax/Aoshima kit im about to finish ever.. I have couple other kits and i like them even chassis and engine details are not done well or not done at all.. These are nice curbside kits...

Today i made windows, and clear coated some parts...

The decaling is amazing. The contrast between the black paint and the gold decals is just amazing. This is just as I like to do from time to time, find afermarket decals that the particular car used in the day. Superb!

Looking great really need to pick this kit up for a street build love them 240's

someone needs to make a 242 gt front end for it !!!

Thank you guys.. I love JPS livery look in about any race car.. I did not find any 1:1 examples of Volvo 240 in this theme, but i wanted to make this just as fictional race car.. So desing of this JPS look for Volvo is made by me.. Just some nice aftermarket decals here and there..

It was time for test fit... It gets tight fitment for grille after i shoot clear coat for body, but i hope it sits well after doing that..

 

I like that look..

Those decals just pop ... this is looking amazing!

I had a '72 145 and have always loved what Volvo does for wagons.

[Janne Herajärvi]

Thank you guys.. For now, my work keeps me busy for about week, but i will get back on building after i came back at home.. More progress then, and hopefully one finished model.. 

[Janne Herajärvi]

Small update, i got those last decals placed and shoot some clear coat, had bit battle with dust problems, but i will try to fix them and hopefully will get finished this racer soon 

[Janne Herajärvi]

This racer is finished now! Under glass pictures very soon!
