Primer looks good


Its all about the prep to achieve a great finish. (I got that drilled into me by an uncle who was a car painter). I guess it goes the same for a model


Will watch with interest

Nice subject choice Craigy

You won't go far wrong with a Tamiya car kit they're really well molded and go together like a dream!

Are you going for a custom look or a realistic finish?

Primer looks fantastic. Nice and smooth. Interior also.

Thanks for the replies

Not able to devote a lot of time to car at the moment but did get the body painted.
Used a rattle can in Humbrol Forest Green. First impressions were not good, but after rubbing out with Farecla G3 compound, much happier. ;D



Hope to get some more progress and pics up very soon.

Thanks for your interest.
