Tamiya 1/24 Nissan R390 GT1 - Paint It Black GB

[Mr Bowcat]

Afternoon all,

This is my entry to the GB.

Nice one Bob

[Mr Bowcat]

Morning all.

Made a start on this yesterday, just clipping some plastic and cleaning it up, bit of filling on ejector pin marks that will be visible.

I would have like to have gotten the body into primer, however currently have a poorly cat wearing a cone who can't go out, so the house is sealed up tight as a drum (and has been for the past 2 weeks). In the current heatwave that's about as pleasant as it sounds, but also means I can't use the A/B (I normally have the patio doors wide open when spraying because of the lacquer fumes).

Sorry about your cat.
Pete

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers Pete, she's almost fully healed so hopefully can go out soon.

The cone of shame, poor thing.
But another black build, that is actually, quite colourful. Very nice.

[PaulTRose]

Hope kitty has recovered....give her a fuss from me please

[Jim R]

Nice choice for the GB.
Poor puss cat. Hope she's better soon. Dogs and cats hate those cones even though they are necessary.

[Mr Bowcat]

Good news, the cone came off yesterday. 😁

I had to clip and file her claws to stop her scratching the newly healed skin, but she is now allowed out of the house which means I can finally get on with some airbrushing.

[stillp]

That's a relief for both of you.

[Mr Bowcat]

Hi all.

Right, now the cats out of the house, some things got painted, and some sub assemblies put together.






Quite a lot of black so far.

[Nicko]

Looking very nice, Bob..

Lovely neat work and paint especially the dash and drivetrain, looking forward to your progress.

[HAWKERHUNTER]

Lovely detail on this one Bob, great start.

[Jim R]

All looking very neat and sorted.

[Geoffers]

Nice start Bob, it’s all looking very tidy 👍

Geoff.

[Mr Bowcat]

Morning all.

Some small progress. I finished the detail painting on some of the parts and put the front end/cabin and engine together.






That's going to be it for a little while, I'm off on my holidays early next week so won't get back to this until near the end of Agust.
