Neato! I think it's pretty cool that we're starting to see the early days of hobbyists printing entire model cars for themselves.

For the next ones you print, I'd suggest maybe skim-coating them with a layer of 2-part body filler (like Evercoat, etc) and sanding  to smooth over the terraced deposition pattern! It will help create a smoother base for gloss paint.

Very nice work on an iconic Aussie car. 

As Spex84 said, some body filler to remove the transition lines especially in the roof & boot (trunk) lid. As you can see by the pic the side windows need some help. The picture is of a GTHO Phase 4, one of 4 made. 

Were did you acquire this please. I can see a Mad Max Interceptor to go with my Pursuit Specials.

thanks i coated it with 2 coats of duplicolor filler primer for deep scratches  and  since the body was printed in two halves i had to use thin peices of plastic to fill in the gaps were the two halves did not join pefectly then had to trim away the rest of the rest of the thin plastic and sand it down  then shot it with normal primer

Thanks Michelle, I posted that pic just to show how "off" the side windows are. I agree, these cars look good in these colours. I'm not part of FB but thank you. There was someone doing a 4 door conversion awhile ago that incorporated the Aoshima kit, I missed out on that one. The Parts Box does an XB but they're 1/25.
