a wonderful childhood memory.........

Just wanted to let you know I rubbed off the clear, did a few coats of paint. Then just went with some car polish and wax.... Its not anything amazing, but looks so much nicer

That looks well nice Have ordered Mr color Italian red for a Ferrari body.........

Is the Mr surfacer primer any good?? I have been using the zero paints primer

Which laquer paints do you prefer! Mr hobby. Alclad..?? Do they require specific primer? Thanks for the advice btw....

Yes correct its the tamiya x, xf paints I have been using.. I agree with you about the clear causing more problems than I need, I've rubbed it off and will give the car another few coats of the tamiya. And then go with lacquer paint for the next car that I do Because I have quite a few tamiya and vallejo model paints I guess I thought they would be ok.

I think you're using the wrong type of paints for auto modelling, especially on body work parts ok, i thought the Tamiya paint looked pretty good airbrushed - the problems seemed to be with using the clear/varnish afterwards i will look into the Mr Hobby paints cheers

Hi there I was after some advice regarding the paint i recently applied to this Tamiya Mitsubishi Happy with the Sky Blue Tamiya paint that went on- instead of clear i airbrushed a few coats of vallejo polyurethane gloss varnish mixed with thinners and a bit of flowcontrol medium, and allowed to dry. I was intending to leave for a week, then lightly sand and polish. looking at the car now it seems patchy and not at all glossy ? can this be rectified when i sand, i hear so many different things about clearcoats and varnishing and polishing, thinking about getting hold of the 2k clear pack https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4824/32049191358_8cb5ed4ac7_c.jpg will post pics from my phone shortly............ thanks andy

funny isn't it the Revell kits sort of look great - but Tamiya seems to have the edge, I just finished an MKII Revell Spitfire - if I had known the panel lines were raised i would have never bought the Flory model dark wash..!

yes, 111 parts sounds a bit daunting at the moment

As it's only my second car build - I have this more complex build of the 458 Ferrari or I have this which looks like a more basic build- I just can't decide!!!!

Hi there Could anyone recommend nice red paint for this I picked up off eBay thanks

Christine - wow i love that film never knew they did a model of the car.....!!!

oh boy - yet another kit I now want..............
