A sneak preview of the 2 kits I have decided to take to Aus with me.
The paint goes on tomorrow!
Rover Taihiti Blue for the Calsonic car (White primer) and I have to look for a Black metallic with a silver fleck tomorrow for the KURE sponsored car.

1. No!:finger:
2. No!:(
3. Your best bet would be to get some from MediaMix or HLJ!

No, it's a solid colour. I'll post pics later when I have done it.
I went for Ford Panther Black for the KURE car.

on the box it looks metallic or pearl blue
i'm crazy about blue and do my research work on "shades of blue" :)
today I found in hobbyshop couple exotic sprays from Tamiya (designed for racing bikes): telefonica blue and deep blue pearl. both too dark for what I want :(

4 weeks without modelling! Could you imagine it!!!
I always ending up finding a model shop and building a kit when I am holiday, but I never have the right tools or paint! So this time I am saving the trouble! Taking them out all painted, just needing assembly and enough colours to detail it!
I shall bring them back, just take the mirrors, wings and aerials off!

No, Calsonic's cars are like a mid solid blue.
Here is the body coated in Rover Taihiti Blue!
It took a good four coats to cover well, and the first two coats were mist coats. It looked very turquise when it first went on, but now I am sure you will aggree it looks spot on!

And here is the Panther Black for the KURE car.
It is a rough texture, so as to catch the light when it is lacquered. The instructions say add 1 part of X11 for every 10 parts of X-1, so I am pleased that this is about right. The flecks are silver.

Both are looking good Dan. Look forwand to some good write up's on the building of them both.
The Kure one looks really good with the paint match

I need some help with this one guys!
Do the rear lights have an orange tint, like the road car, or did they have a true orange lense, like the instructions say! I can't find a picture of the rear anywhere!:confused:
