TooOld Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 This the Aoshima MGB kit built using the C1 Models resin trans kit . Basically built out of the box , only things added are the license plate and a rubber gasket under the fuel cap . It's painted Tamiya Brilliant Orange , not super shiny but I kinda like it . Only thing I missed was the right side wiper should have been moved inward 1/4 inch , didn't notice that until it was too late . Thanks for looking , all comments welcome . 2
Erik Smith Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 That turned out great. Nice work! I like your work on the front and rear window trim.
Bainford Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 Beautiful GT. The colour looks great, and the less-than-super shiny paint looks just right (I’m not a fan of over-shine). Nice work on the glass. Very tidy build. I like. Makes me want to break out my own GT and have at it.
Kah puts Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 Primo job, it seems a little high though, just my two cents ?
beeRS Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 Fantastic job. The paint finish looks just right - not being super shiny. How did you do the trim on the front and rear screens? I see chrome trim with a black outline to simulate the rubber. Is it just careful painting?
Spottedlaurel Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 Very nicely done indeed. The glass trim mentioned by Sonny looks excellent.

I'm not a big fan of the show car polished finish either , most of my models are street driven cars .

I masked the body and sprayed Tamiya Rubber Black , then cut thin strips of foil for the molding . It worked fairly well but did need some touch-up with a fine brush and some Molotow . 1
iamsuperdan Posted March 6, 2022 Posted March 6, 2022 Looks really good. And I think your paint finish adds to the realism. I don't recall ever seeing these with super glossy finishes.

Peter Lombardo Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 Great job! My wife owned a GT (1973) when we dated. Hers was blue and a lot of fun to drive. It became too unreliable in the winter and on rainy days so it was traded in on a VW Rabbit. Less fun, but started every time. Today we own a roadster MGB and a MGA only driven on warm sunny days. I love the paint job you did, very nice build.
happy grumpy Posted March 7, 2022 Posted March 7, 2022 That's one sweet looking car, Nice color and excellent photos.
