This might be a quick one but there is plenty of work to do before starting.
First of all it won't be in yellow I will be doing tamiya British racing green with a automotive gloss coat that will take 48 hours to cure.
First the spure shots.
First jobs will be sorting out a ejecter pin marks and a few mould seems before giving it a going over with micro meshView attachment 291902View attachment 291903View attachment 291904View attachment 291905View attachment 291906

Here's the start I put down a matt green undercoat all went OK but the top coat from the rattle can didn't go to well so it had to come off and a new top coat from the airbrush was applied so I will leave it a day or so before putting the top gloss coatView attachment 291961View attachment 291962View attachment 291963
