That's it.

I'm really satisfied with the result. To bad I couldn't close the doors, but in the end this is a nice way to display the model. The opened doors allows you to see the nice details inside, and it's something else beside all the closed door models I have build in the last years.

The fitment was really nice, especially for a Revell kit. I think my doors won't fit properly because of the thick 2K clearcoat. The next bus i'll make will be painted with a normal or thinner clearcoat.

Here's a short list with accesoires i used:

- Whitewall decals
- Gunze Sangyo chrome wheelcovers
- aluminium exhaust
- Fujimi rollerskates + skateboard
- ScaleProduction magazines
- ScaleProduction black interiorflocking
- Mr. Detail PE sunglasses

Thanks for watching guys!

Kris.

Great result, very realistic. Love the interior touches.

Hi, you really transformed that rather weird multi-piece-body kit into a stunner!!! Awesomely clean paint, especially when considering all the masking work involved. I still don't like the stance and the "donk-like" wheels, but overall it's an exquisitely built model! Great job.

Cheers
Sebastian

WOW that is one of the most awesome build i have ever seen

Very nice finish; the model looks really good. :sunglasse
