Beautiful!

Cool! Good luck with it.

Many thanks again for taking the time to reply all! I've ordered some Mr gloss and thinner so will see how those work out later. I found some zero pre thinned gloss after a rummage in the airbrush store/box/singularity/.... I bought some cellulose thinners and applied a few coats to the car. I know, impatience. But....came out ok I think Went on ok but noticed it matting quite badly half way through which was a worry. The gloss returned after a few heavier coats. Not perfect but I'm kind of happyish with it.

Hi Jeroens, I must have missed your post. I was just experimenting. Watched a few videos of guys decanting and getting very nice results.

Thanks Tommy124. Appreciate your comments. I think I it's a .3 but will check.

I'll have a look Colin. Thanks.

Cheers Colin. I tried ultimate thinner, tamiya x20a and my girlfriend's nail varnish remover. Interestingly the product card for the ultimate thinner does say specifically to thin Tamiya paint 50:50. Guess it's actually refering to the little acrylic pots and not the spray cans...... I've got some plastic spoons to mess around with so will see.

Cheers larchifeng, appreciate your time and thoughts. I'll get some fine grit paper today and see how it goes.

That's possible Artie....

Thanks gents. I did let the paint gas off for about an hour. It stopped bubbling and then I tried a could of different thinning mediums. Tamiya and ultimate thinner. It seems pretty heavy once it's gassed off though......Airbrush took one look and fell apart in terror...

Pics. To sand or not to sand?

Hello all, Need some advice please. I've got the car to this stage using tamiya spray cans. Tried decanting the paint and spraying through the airbrush but did not get the thinning correct 😕. I'll practice that but in the mean time, should I just go ahead and shoot some tamiya x22 clear on top of the blue or should I go over it with a very fine grit paper????? The gloss is quite nice but it's not glossy enough 🤔. I'll post the pics in a mo. Thanks for any inputs.

Superb. Really wish hasegawa would re-release the whole series 😊

Cheers Jim!

Beautiful. One day I will own an hurican performante 😊

Hey Cadman ! It is indeed 😊. Thanks for the comment!

My lovely wife treated me to a few lord of the rings minis 😊. Hope you enjoy the first one Cheers

Nice little bulls 😊

Awesome 😁

Hey Pat, glad your son survived. As a downhiller myself, I'm sure landing on his head was the best result 🤪 😂😂. That part at least has descent armour. Embrace the gnar 🤘

Ugh. Hardtails with barends 🤤🤤😁. My norco aurum just about fits on top of my TT..... 🙂. Sweet build though!

Superb. Odd looking bike though.

Stunning!

Been a while since I added any progress pics. Busy days 😐. Those decals are odd.... Microsol won't touch them and they are surprisingly fragile... Must be all this unusual warm weather? 🤔😊

Well finished. It's a very demanding kit and you've done it justice.
