Decal em up

After 2 mist coat and 3 wet coat, wetsand the main color with 1200. Sprayed 1 mist and 2 wet coat of industrial clear paint. Wetsand any rough spots with 1200.

Polish using red & blue polishing compound by Tamiya. Looks better than the last project. Plan to decal > clear coat > polish again > wax

Wish me luck

Progress on the GTR

Applied mist coating on the bodyshell. Tyre decals - done. GTR chassis, dashboard, roll cage, engine, exhaust, suspension fully assembled.

Now concentrating finishing up the bodyshell. Again, slow and steady.

Slow and steady

I've started work on the GTR Calsonic racing car. As usual, kit from Tamiya are good and highly detailed. The instruction are easy to follow.

Started work on the front and back suspension. Handpainted them with Tamiya's enamel paint.

Here's completed shock absorbers

Chasis, side doors and GT wing painting complete. 2 layers of Mr Surfacer 1000 Grey, 2 layer of Mr Base White 1000 and two layer of Mr Color Cobalt Blue.

Same goes for the car's body. It's only that I haven't sprayed over the blue color on it.

Number 11

Before and after. Now for some clear coating.

Mistake

Darker or lighter prime coating will effect paint coat. Lesson learned.
Body paint coating should have a ligther blue scheme.

Yeah!!

Single action Procon Boy PS268. Looks solid than my 1st AB (china made). Will give it a try tonight.

GT40 WIP part III

Primed the body. Ready for painting

GT40 WIP part II

Tyre decal done. I've learnt it the hard way.

Next in line

My fave will always be GTR Pennzoil livery. This will do at the moment.

WIP 1/24 GT40 LeMans

Chasis/engine/tyre/driving cabin completed. I choose red for the seats.

New acquisition

Got these from a seller. Mind that MP4/7 is still sealed, and it came with a great price.

Back to modelling

After 5 years, trying out miniature modelling once again.

this is the 1st of many to come (I hope)
