Redstaff Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 After building the Mustang GT4 I'm getting on with a Tamiya Skyline R34 Nur version in Millennium Jade. I don't normally build road cars as they don't interest me, but as it was bought for me I'm going to do it for the Asia GB in Zeros Millennium Jade paint as the Nur version, which I believe was the only version Millennium Jade was used on. Prepped bodywork and mega priming session for all chassis stuff is all for now. Ian 😀 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted August 11 Author Share Posted August 11 Bodywork and wheels painted today in Zero paints Millennium Jade and wheel bronze respectively. Such nice colours that sprayed so well. Ian 😀 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Assembled all the chassis bits tonight as I didn't need to gloss clearcoat it first. Typical Tamiya fit quality 😀 Ian 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstaff Posted August 16 Author Share Posted August 16 Limited time this week with work, but half hours here and there and I've got the interior tub done. Interior is NATO black and tyre black highlights on seats. German grey as per instructions was too light compared to pics. Carpet is self adhesive dolls house carpet, had it for years but F1 and rally cars don't need it. 😀 Hopefully clearcoat body over weekend and nearly done then Ian 😀 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Thanks Keith 😀 I didn't know that about the escorts, all the stuff I've seen and built never had any, but every day's a learning day 😀 Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
othertales Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Great use of colours on the interior and good call on German grey! Your scheme looks much better. And that dolls house carpet works a treat—must get some myself if still being sold… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know modellers only use a small proportion of it compared to full size car painters but they also don't paint in full size ventilated booths wearing air fed masks....

Redstaff Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 If there's one thing I hate about building road and rally cars, it's painting the window rubbers 😬 But now it's done on this one and the windows themselves masked and painted, also the bottom front spoiler. Hopefully finish by the end of the week Ian 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redstaff Posted August 19 Author Share Posted August 19 Nearly done now, just a bit of cleaning a couple of bits of pva from the glass and a polish. Then some pics outside needed to show the paint at its best. Ian 😀 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
