Now that I'm back building vehicles now and then I went through old 1/2 builts and new kits to see what was what. I pulled this one out thinking I would do a full WIP on it.

Curses, foiled again! It seems I already had it going. I left a note when I packed it and all I wrote was "white interior".

So that is what I did. Shot the seat, door cards and dash in semi white. The grey decals should look bitchin.

Chassis is stock I just changed a few colors. Paint is I believe Testors Turquoise. It is darker than the photo since I used a flash.

After a buff and a few decals Ill call it done.

Thanks fellas. This kit is a dream to assemble and very well engineered. There was half of me that saw that blue and instantly thought chipped paint and rust. The other half reached for thw 3M compound to start polishing it.

I do like my color choices and they are period-ish. Once the white cures and I can decal the interior pieces Ill mock it up but really it is in the home stretch.

I love lacquer paint. Laid it down yesterday and today you could drive a nail with it.

I cannot say enough nice things about the engineering of this kit. Almost Tamiya like.

I think my choice of white was a good call here. The kit decals laid down smoothly and reacted to solution well. A littlIe detail painting of the dash and I really have something here.

Worked on this most of the afternoon and after supper.

Looks like a buff and some BMF are all that are keeping this from the shelf.

I have this kit in the stash.  Your build has set the standard way up high but it sounds like a fun build.

Kind words Sir, but Im not certain about how high I set any bars.

I know this. You will enjoy every bit of building this kit. Put your own stamp on it and I am sure it will be a stand out.
