M MLooks good mate! I am waiting for mine to arrive in the mail. Going to be my first build as an adult 8-)
Martin RapavyThank you guys for your kind words. I wanted it to be high shine which did not work. I wonder if it is even possible to achieve high shine with acrylics. Especially those of Revell or Vallejo? Other than that I'm pretty happy how it turned out. Would choose more vibrant colour next time though😢
M M@Martin I plan trying Tamiya Clear even though I have heard it runs a little hot. Then follow it up with some automotive polish. I picked Tamiya Candy Lime Green TS-52. I am thinking over a dark primer it might look a little like Porsches current offering called "Lizard Green."
Alexander GrivonevNice 👍 I like that kit, it is nice and simple, yet in the beloved Tamiya quality. Great result!
Xu HoMy EXP: Mr.Color clear coat goes white when the air is too dampness. Check the weather before use it.

This was supposed to be a weekend build. The kit is very simple but extremely well engineered. I focused on getting the paintjob done properly. Everything went okay untill clear coat. I put a layer of Mr. Color clear coat but it was something wrong with it, the whole surface turned almost white. I did not want to strip the paint and start over, so I tried to polish it away which sort of worked. Afterwards I continued with Revell Aqua Clear which worked fine but I wasnt able to get rid of orange peel left by Mr. Color paint. Anyways, I moved to huge masking job and in a hurry did not cover everything properly so there was bit of an overspray here and there. In the end I was able to get rid of most of the overspray. So all in all, easy build, but not very satisfied with the paintjob.
