1/24 DDA HQ Holden Kingswood

[STU111]

G’day all, frustratingly, due to work and other commitments I haven’t been able to get the bench time I’d like, but recently managed to make a little progress. Got the engine bay finished.Also got some paint on the body. Shot some SMS paints Glacier White on the roof. I’m good with enamels and Tamiya bottle acrylics through the airbrush, but still getting used to lacquer paint. The roof on the Q had an orange peel finish ( more than what I’d have liked ) but it rubbed out with 8,000 then 12,000 grit okay.Will endeavour to get the green on the body soon. Thanks for looking.

Good to see an update with the build Stu. 

Like how you detail painted the battery to represent the Century brand.

Looking forward to seeing green applied.

G’day all.   Well, tonight I have a new respect for you guys who airbrush your car bodies. With the weather perfect for painting, I decided to paint the Q. Well everything that could go wrong, went wrong. My trusty Iwata decided to block up , ( probably down to me not cleaning it thoroughly enough last time I used it ). Being unfamiliar with the SMS paints, l hadn’t thinned the paint enough. But despite the swear words and growling at the dog, l got there in the end. Still needs clear coat, but it’s starting to come together. After l cleaned the airbrush out, thoroughly this time, I took my dog to the park to make it up to him. 😁
