1/24 Tamiya Mazda Rx-7 Cabriolet

[Alan R]

Hi All,

Finally, it's finished. Not without some problems, mostly of my own making...

I sprayed it with a mixture of Tamiya Black (X1) and Mr Color Levelling thinners using my Iwata air-brush.

The biggest problem was that I managed to get blobs of Tamiya silver splattered all over it that needed dealing with. Don't ask how, it's too embarrassing!

After some effort, I managed to tidy it up without having to re-spray the whole body ... again! 🤬

So, here we are:

The tail-pipes were painted with the Molotow Chrome pen, as was the rear-view mirror.

The bonnet was dislodged during the photo-session. It actually fits very well.

A few minor blemishes, but nothing too bad. On the whole, I am quite pleased with the result.

As usual, any criticism, comments welcome. I always seek to improve my skills.

 

Thanks for looking, Alan.

Looks very tidy Alan! As for criticism: definitely nothing on the car, but I must say the photos make it look a little bleak and don't really do it justice. I still have to figure out how to make decent shots myself so I'm no help there, sorry for bringing it up without offering a solution 🙄

Hi Jeroen,

I know what you mean.

What I really need is a photo-booth, rather than a jumbled background of the conservatory!

 

Cheers, Alan.
