Sometimes, like for instance after struggling with Flintstone resin and AMT kits for awhile, its really nice to sit back and assemble a truly well engineered kit of an awesome subject. Total time into it so far probably six hours, including body and paint (still needs polish and clear coat) and results like this. Amazing. Really does compliment whatever skills I have left. Its a joy even to test fit, everything pretty much fits on the first go round. Try that with an AMT kit sometime!
No alterations, just paint and a Studio 27 photo etch kit of which I am using probably 1/4 the parts. Trying to keep it simple. Paint is hardware store dreck, Gloss Marigold. I had to be very gentle so as not to drown the poor car but it turned out pretty good for a base coat. Covered well, thats for sure. One major problem, the decals were junk. First time I have run across Tamiya decals that just shattered when you tried to apply them. But that has been the rule here so far. So, no sponsorship decals, I guess this will be a privateer car if there ever was such a thing with factory race cars like this one.
Anyway thanks for looking and all comments, questions, critiques welcome!
