Matt T. Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I just finished this yesterday. I started it five years ago when it was new but, for some reason, boxed it up just short of final assembly. One week of detail painting and assembly, and here she is. Beautiful kit - well engineered, nicely detailed, and it looks great when done. Go build one, if you haven’t already. Paint is Tamiya TS-15 Blue over gray primer, replicating 1:1 Washington Blue. Engine block is TS-75 Champagne Gold. Interior is Tamiya AS-15 Sand. I had originally planned blue steel wheels and caps, but just bought a re-released roadster and went with the Halibrands. The only part I added that wasn’t in the box was a Revell ‘40 Ford steering wheel painted Racing White. Thanks for looking! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Great looking paint work and all the trim is cleanly done. I like the Dirt Track rear tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, everyone! Glad you like the color combo. I was wavering, but stuck with my original plan from years ago. Zippi - I used some thinned Tamiya acrylic NATO Black, two coats. If the thinned black gets on the raised coils, it knocks down the shine nicely, giving a metal look to the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
