Thank you very much for your comments, there will be progress shortly.

Hello, as you know, the model comes pre-painted in red. I thought it was just a transparent lacquer, but no, it had color; I removed it with medicinal alcohol and a hard brush. Remove the mold lines.
For the silver color I used Mr Color 8.

I gave the chassis about 3 coats of water-based varnish and then a gray color longitudinally. I detailed the different parts of it in black and glued the parts made in scratch. I also glued the rear axle.

Hi, we continue with the chassis, we place the exhaust pipe and the stabilizer bar.

We complete the front axle.

This is how the hole looks with the parts scratch-made.

Hello, for the bodywork I used a new paint, a water-based acrylic, colourless acrylic enamel, which I first tested to see its properties such as levelling, gloss, etc. I thought it was very good but as usual its behaviour on the model was slightly different, dull and with an orange peel appearance, so I had to sand and polish it very gently as that is not its function. I previously applied the decals.

Hello, we continue with the progress, we see that the windshield is not completely faithful to the model, so it will undergo improvements such as the position of the wipers. In addition, it has upholstered parts so it will have to be painted the same color as the interior.
The body is ready to be assembled.

Hello, it's finished.
