landman Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Time for a supercar. I am going to practice my painting on this one. Maybe I shouldn't have said that, it might have jinxed it. Starting body prep. Edited October 29, 2020 by landman
kelson Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Nice kit,but I've heard it's a difficult kit to go together,what's your color choice?.

I’ve a feeling you are right Curtis, it took me several minutes to figure the first part I assembled. The colors were to be my next post. By the way,are those fires close to you?
landman Posted July 24, 2018 Author Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) It'll likely be one of these colors. The darkest one is Model Master Acrylic Gunmetal. Edited October 29, 2020 by landman
mustang1989 Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 I do like the Gunmetal approach to this one Pat.

dino246gt Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 I did the Spider version for a totally OUT OF BOX build, nothing extra! Great kit, I think you'll really enjoy the coupe version.

No,the fires are a few hundred miles away,last summer was a different story we were covered in thick smoke for the entire summer
PARTSMARTY Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 If you're Audi comes out anything like you're engines we're in for a big surprise.I'll be watching !!!
iamsuperdan Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 I had this kit. Pretty sure I traded it off to someone here. I think. Uh oh...am I at that point where I really have no idea what's in the stash? Anyway, the R8 is a great subject. Watching.

Belugawrx Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 C'mon Pat, ....SHOW US THE ENGINE,...lol Nice build going, thanks for sanding the mold lines off the drive shaft (thumbs up emoji) Cheers
landman Posted July 28, 2018 Author Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) The Model Master acrylic gunmetal didn't turn out so good. Edited October 29, 2020 by landman
landman Posted July 30, 2018 Author Posted July 30, 2018 I think it is because I thinned it out with Tamyia'a acrylic thinner. Now since I don't have any of Model Master's, what household product should I use. Rubbing alcohol?
landman Posted July 31, 2018 Author Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) After a couple of futile attempts to use the Model Master Acrylic Gunmetal I decided it would be blue Primed a few things for the next round. Edited October 29, 2020 by landman
