customline Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Looks like you have this one well in hand. Very nice detailing all around. I have this kit in queue and was looking through it last night. It's a great kit. I'm following 1
STU111 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Nice work so far. 👍🏻 I’ve got this one on the go at the moment and it’s a great looking kit. I’ll be following your build. 1
DJMar Posted January 23 Posted January 23 That interior color looks great, really close to the one-year-only Sienna. What shade is your exterior going to be? 1

Mopar2 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Amazing build..Awesome detail..Another one I can't wait to see built. 1
eran_k Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 not much progress , body parts primed then painted, i'll let them dry for few days and then apply decals and clear. question? BMF should be applied before or after the clear coat? 4
gman Posted January 25 Posted January 25 The build and the paint look great- reminiscent of Bittersweet Poly. What did you use for paint on the body? It looks like it laid down very nicely.
gman Posted January 25 Posted January 25 As for foil over or under clear, if your foil sticks well and you've scribed the lines around chrome trim to be deeper, foil over clear works well. If you haven't scribed lines around chrome trim, there are techniques for helping with that too. Lay some tape lines around the trim, foil and use the tape lines as a guide for trimming the foil with a new #11 blade. Gently removing the tape helps lift the unwanted foil.

gman Posted January 25 Posted January 25 One day I am going to try some Mr. Color. I am guessing that is part of their lacquer line?
TransAmMike Posted January 25 Posted January 25 I'm really liking how this is coming along Eran. Nice color and I will say, I'm a big fan of Mr. Hobby paints. I use Mr. Hobby 1500 primer and lacquers mostly. And I concur with "gman" on the BMF. Tho, I always foil after clearing. 1
customline Posted January 26 Posted January 26 The copper will look fantastic with the black stripes. Great color choice.
