Bastardo Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 I started this beauty a few weeks ago. No, it will not be the Arai version It'll be a street racer A few pics of WIP and some minor mods I've made to it: Box: Parts in base colors: Body in base color: Masked: Black:
Bastardo Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Results: Yes, the masking tape pulled off some paint, despite cleaning the body with soap and also alcohol prior to painting... Adding some paint:
Bastardo Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Sorted the peeled places Well... As a rust-o-holic I just couldn't help myself...
Bastardo Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Thanx to Tamiya's masks painting window trims was a walk in the park I fabricated some seat belts:
Bastardo Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Dashboard done: Rear lights and front turn-signals: Stickerbombing: How it should look on the car: Bottom mostly done:
Bastardo Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Interior during WIP: Glued the PE part on the radiator: Made them tyres look like they've done some things

Bastardo Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Weathered the glasses and made the whipers trails: That's it at the moment. I believe the car should be finished in a week or so. Need to weather the lights, add the licence plate, do some small paint touch-ups, assemble the model and perhaps fix a spot or two here and there To be continued!

Bastardo Posted August 17, 2013 Author Posted August 17, 2013 Thanx, fellas! Mike: I was going to put some rust on this car anyway, but the peeled paint helped me decide where I wanna put it...
