Hi guys,

This is the 2002tii that was driven in the 1975 Bathurst 1000 by Peter Williamson and John McDonald. They started 23rd but DNF'ed.

It's the late version Hasegawa kit with the USCP late model door cards. I designed and 3D printed the right hand drive dash as well as my own front seats. I also did my own wheels and tyres and had the decals custom printed from my own artwork.

I painted the fluorescent red stripes with paint from a can of Tamiya TS36 which by my estimation is either side of 30 years old. I decanted the paint and airbrushed it. 

If you've ever wondered if it really is fluorescent, here's a pic I took with the lights out and the UV torch on. Just for something different.

Thanks for looking. I've had a busy last couple of months finishing various models so please look out for them in the near future.

Cheers

Oh I like that Shawn..very precise detailing and finish.

Thanks every one.

Bruce I use AK crystal magic glue for my fiddly parts.

It dries fairly strong but parts can popped off without damage if a mistake is made and any dried residue can be picked off with a tooth pick or a long finger nail and wet residue is also easy to clean up. It dries in a few minutes so it gives you ample time to place your parts on the model and add tape to secure the parts like those rubber strips.

 

Cheers
