MarkM Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Had this kit a while now and finally made a start. I'll also adding the Top Studio brakes set and small detail up set plus West decals. A few images below of my progress so far. More detail work to do to the engine yet, but also need to get started on the body and other components to keep things moving. Will post some more images when I progress 🙂 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmonk Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The engine and gear box looks great and the Top Studio brake set looks the dogs dangly bits! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 That's already looking pretty special - at this rate it should look awesome when complete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkM Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Managed to get a bit of time to start spraying some of the main parts. Not great photos but pretty happy with the results. Primed, colour and three clear coats. Leaving to dry thoroughly then will mask and spray the darker colour on the main body area. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the Tamiya TS cans; TS-17 Gloss Aluminium and TS-38 Gun Metal with TS-13 clear finish. Will invest in an airbrush at some point but as still getting back into modelling after many years off I'm happy to use these for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bit expensive in the long run but easy enough to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkM Posted June 14, 2019 Author Share Posted June 14, 2019 A bit more progress Finding the decals pretty hard on this one as fairly thin but not too bad! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkM Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 Managed to finish this project today. Hasn't turned out as well as I'd hoped as had to buy replacement decals (original were old and mis-coloured) which turned out to be REALLY thin but pretty pleased with the end result. Will post more pics in the 'Ready For Inspection' area 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyb258 Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Nice one, Mark. I did this one several(???) years ago in papaya test colours and it was a pleasure to build. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. Lovely, clean work, sir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
