Just started...

Tamiya kit with their in-house 'Detail-Up' etch. Only needed to add the (lets's be honest, downright ugly) combined front air-dam & headlight shroud, then rubbed the whole body with Tamiya 1000 grit sponge to scuff-up the body ready for primer.

Shot a couple of coats of Tamiya Fine straight from the rattle-can with a light rub-down with some 2000 grit wet'n dry between the two coats.

More Soon.

Tamiya Purple as a base-coat for the (pearl) top coats.

Will let this dry & cure until after the weekend at least- we've got a very warm Spring here just now so drying shouldn't be an issue.

OK, get ready to make an "Ewwww" face !

Obviously the bodyshell needs it's second (pearl) colour, might get  to apply that tomorrow. PLEASE let me know what you think - over to you.

Progress...

Interior all done, including self-adhesive pre-cut carpets which come with the Tamiya 'Detail Up' set.

Also finished up the bodyshell. Two thin coats of Tamiya 'Pearl White' over glossy white. Will leave this to dry & cure for a couple of days, whilst that is going-on in the background, I'll start on the rolling chassis.

Great job so far Ian.
You do know you got the steering wheel on the wrong side, of course.

All done:

Couple of photos of the completed chassis before I popped the wheels on - first time using a model-specific 'detail-up' set and it makes a H*LL of a difference. Very, very impressed.

Completed build, but forgot to touch-up the black trim around the windows before I got the camera out !! - all done now .

Already started the next build, you can find it in the 'Revellogram' Campaign.
