Beyond the Torq-Thrust II's and Goodyear ZR-40's which were pirated from a Revell Alternomad, this beast is box stock. The paint is another one of those nail-polish paintjobs like the one you saw on my Wildcat (which is complete, by the way, but my camera is out of juice). So, what do you think? I'm really pleased with this one.

So far, looks good. Nice color choice, BTW what kind of thinner did you use to thin the nail polish? Acrylic or enamel thinner?

Best choice is a 50%/50% mix of the nail polish and laquer thinner - gives the best "spray-ability" and gasses out in about 4 hours to a rock-hard finish. Be sure to mix COMPLETELY with some small object like a BB in the bottle though - gotta make sure it stays that way for the best finish.

Thanks, I'll have to try that.

I think it's cool!!! :cool:

Looking great but what does the interior look like with the body colours?

Nice style :smoka:
