bluestringer Posted March 17, 2024 Share Posted March 17, 2024 Very nice kit. The paint is Tamiya Light Green on the body, turned out a little brighter than expected. A different green probably would have looked better. Interior is Tamiya Semi Gloss Black. Built OOB stock except for a few details under the hood. Had a few probelms getting the body mated to the frame, broke off some parts trying to get them together and found out it worked better to install the interior as a separate unit into the body first, then fit the frame on. The bumpers were also a little finicky, not much contact points for glue. Thanks for looking and all comments welcome. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDC Posted March 19, 2024 Share Posted March 19, 2024 Good job man, nice and clean. It looks great. Is that area under the hood a molded in texture that you painted or did you do something to create the insulation effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The texture is in the hood, I used some setting fluid to get the decals to form over the texture. 1 hour ago, 6bblbird said: I love clean builds. I guess I love it!? Thanks.
