Looks great, polishing should be straightforward and I'm sure it will look terrific. Well done!

Re: ARTA NSX 2005 - Tamiya - 1/24

This is not the end

Fuel fillers finished. First semi glos black painted, dry brushed with silver, resprayed with Alclad Gun Metal.

I used styrene pipe with a pice of Tamiya tape dipped in silver paint to simulate used (many refills) look.





Front intake finished. CF decaled and Tamiya PE mesh has been added.

Re: ARTA NSX 2005 - Tamiya - 1/24

I think that this is last mod for NSX. I created new exhaust tips. Tamiya has prepared the same exhaust for all of the teams. It is correct for Raybrig but not for the ARTA

This is how it looks like:



I used brass tube which I has drilled out. Could'nt find thin wall tube. On the left - drilled, right not drilled.




Painting: black, Gunze Super Iron and mix of Alclads: Gun Metal and Jet Exhaust. Soot - Tamiya XF-1



Dry fitted with old body. I use old one to avoid scratches on the new one.

Very beautiful work! Only one mistake for me: the handle must be all in black!

Thank you!

One of the last updates - interior parts glued on. I have also added driver's cooling air duct.
