It would be great to see some more builds join in, but it will be a mad rush to get completed.
Mr. Finishing Surfacer 1500 Black On the body
Alclad II Black Base On the parts to be painted Alclad II chrome or stainless steel
Tamiya Black For the dash
Tamiya Flat Black Touch up on the bottom of the Chassis
Maybe I can shoot some lacquers tomorrow and get started on the assemblies.
Some Alclad II Chrome and some Alclad II Stainless Steel. I’m amazed that the chrome paint looks so much better that the standard plated parts in other car kits. Mind you there are NO plated parts in this kit.
Sanded the body down, just need to get it into the paint shop. Interior is finished, not that there’s much to it. And I’m not too sure that Mr. Bond is tall enough to drive it.
Well done Mark, those little kits can fight you all the way but you’ve got it sorted nicely!
It looks like the rear bumper was a bit narrow for the body profile, the LHS has split out a bit. Might be worth a drop of CA to stop it from breaking away there.
Thanks for joining in, great to have another completion in the Group Build just as the final flag drops.
