Scale-Master Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 I'm building this one straight out of the box, but changing up the colors (compared to the instruction call outs) to match some versions I found online. First up was to paint the single piece monocoque semi-gloss black then gloss black for the cockpit area. I used TS-29 and LP-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Thanks guys. The LP-1 Black (thinned with Tamiya lacquer thinner) checked and crazed over the TS-29 as it dried overnight. (The TS-29 was shot 24 hours before the Gloss Black.) Not the first time I've used this paint, but the first time something less than good resulted. So I sanded it out and reshot with decanted TS-14 and had no adverse reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Nice start! Looking forward to your great work on this super car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Thanks Carl! I also painted the other gloss black body parts at the same time I repainted the roof section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted April 21, 2021 Author Share Posted April 21, 2021 These are the body parts that will be shot white. (I'm doing the end plates of the rear spoiler in the accent color.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 The calipers are called out to be the same color as the body accent pieces, but I thought the photos of the real car in the instructions indicated otherwise. I liked the anodized look so I used TS-54, TS-17 and TS-72 to get close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Very nice and realistic.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 It's a shame about the paint, nice recovery though. The wheel gear looks great. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Thanks guys! The engine is engineered "without parts count escalating excessively", and I'm sure when it's under the glass it will look fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Looking great. I shall follow closely for tips to use when I do mine. Given that the back end doesn’t open, I’m sure the engine will be absolutely fine! best, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted April 24, 2021 Author Share Posted April 24, 2021 Thanks guys! So far the fit of the parts has been nothing short of great. I have completed steps 1 and 2… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 I started painting the seats to match the photos of a real one I found. TS-53 and TS-23 both mixed with Dullcote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyg Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I’ve painted my seat’s cushions with Italian red dulled down with flat clear. Love your colour choice too! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Thanks Ben! The chassis builds up very quickly once all the painting is done. The fit is still excellent so far.

Scale-Master Posted April 26, 2021 Author Share Posted April 26, 2021 I know the same links work fine in other forums. Maybe it's related to the recent software update done here on Sunday. Same timeframe as the photos began to stop showing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
