well its gone green but im not too impressed with my handiwork so it might go in the paint stripper ready for another go, going to give it a few days to really harden off and then i will think about it

Really first rate interior. Personally I love the seat belts, and the clean finish really works well.

so i tried spraying it green again and got an even worse result than the first time

im blaming myself as i used Tamiya paint which is not my usual choice so im on a learning curve with it

so its gone red .......needs another coat of gloss clear yet, then im going to let it harden off for a few days as im thinking of trying BMF for the trim ....which is something ive only used twice before, and not for this sort of thing

Looking very good!

[PaulinKendal]

Fingers crossed the red plays fair!

[Tim Marlow]

Must admit it looks good in red.

[langy71]

Now that looks loads better,
personally I think the red makes it pop more than green, (but then again I spend half my modelling time using military colours so red doesn't pop up very often...lol)

The red looks good.

[Ian M]

Red works. (almost as good as Brunswick green).

[PaulTRose]

trim didnt goes as planned..........i wanted to use bare metal foil but it just didnt work...........so i masked up and painted with chrome, even with some touchups its a little scruffy......my hand isnt steady enough

putting the shell onto the chassis wasnt as straight forward as i thought it was going to be, tolerances are a bit tight in places

and ive discovered the soft top down isnt an option......dosnt fit with the roll cage fitted, so it will have to be either soft top up or the hard top, luckily i have painted both already lol

but at least im making progress
