Hi Everyone,
This is the first model that I have done it about 20 years. I've learned a lot from all of the posts on this forum. I've been using the search function for hours on end and I appreciate all of the help you have provided from the faqs and posts you have all contributed.
My goal is to work on my techniques on two street models and then move on to a Porsche 962 later this summer.
This is the Tamiya Z3 I have been working on. The interior is complete and the body needs only one more wet coat. The body color is TS-19 and the interior color is TS-46. Not faithful to the original BMW colors, but looks cool anyway. I primed with gray Tamiya primer after sanding. Three mist coats followed by the first wet coat going on this morning. I'm going to put the last wet coat on tomorrow morning and then a coat of clear, finished by some Tamiya compound.
I welcome any suggestions. Thanks for looking.
Johnny B
