Andy J Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 So another one for the collection and a kit I've been looking forward to building for a long time. Although I paid a bit more for the kit than I probably should have i did receive a kit in great condition considering it was pre owned. The shell was painted with zero paints Alpine Blue and cleared with zero paints 2K clear and I think the final colour is pretty much spot on. The build was pretty straightforward though fitting the shell to the chassis was a bit of a challenge because the fitment is very tight indeed. Here's a few pic's of the finished build So time to start the next one. Thanks for looking back soon 🙂👍 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnick Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Those decals really make it come to life! And the finish on the body is superb. If you don't mind me asking where did you get that backdrop? Perfect for car model photos! Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The backdrop is from coastal kits a display company based in Blackpool I've had it a couple of years now and I've used it to display all sorts of different models. I think I paid around £20 plus delivery not bad really considering it's had a fair bit of use 🙂👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
