Priming gives a model a more solid realistic looking model. Models that aren't primed always have a translucent plastic look to them,especially on lighter colors. Also the wheels need some detail painting(lugnuts and hub center)
That's what I'm going to say. Translucent.

I second that Ray, but he's a great guy, met him once and had a beer with him

Anyway back to the topic,

If you do racing or rally cars, a good research of the subject is what you start with. Books, magazine, the internet are the places to look for good materials and if you don't find anything, we are still here to see if we can be of any help! :angel:

I hope this is a good lesson, but don't be too upset about it, we all make errors. Keep up the good work!

I agree with Guido, you can ask him how annoyed I get when people build cars incorrectly

If you are lost for reference material, don't hesitate to ask, even I ask about some cars on occasion and I have always gotten useful and accurate answers, right here on AF:-)
