Newbie GT3 (update)

Hello people I relitivly new here. This is my first time posting a pic.

Here is a Tamiya GT3 I'm working on.
Its got one coat of primer on the body and the chassis is done. I still have to spray some semi-gloss on the interior.






Let me know what you think.

Looks great; keep it coming!

I really need to get in the habit of staarting the body firt, so I don't end up with a bunch of finished chassis and naked bodies.

Looks Great Cobber. What kind of primer is that? Oh welcome Cobber.

Jay I'm the opposite of you. I do bodys first and then they just sit in the box for a long, long time.

I like what I see so far! Keep it coming!

Remember there is no orange on the GT3 indicator lenses as they say in the instructions!

The primer is Tamiya white.
I have some pics of the GT3 and the indicators and the bottom half of the headlights are actually smoked black.
see


The interior was just shot with Tamiya semigloss black. I used a pilot silver pen to touch up some details. The back seats have yet to get the "carpet" that was supplied in the kit.

Final colour will be silver.

Thanks for you comments, Ill keep you updated.

DAMn i really like that car
looks SO sexay in silver

i can't wait to see your finished model
i'll be ordering mine SOON
then borrowing my dad's airbrush
i think i might break down and get the transkit
even though i won't put the racing decals on it
i still like the kit
even though its expensive, i want a show piece

great work so far, can you take some closer pics of interior and engine and undercairrage detail?

is it 1/18 or 1/24 scale?
