Not really much to see, but it looks good already. And I know that it will look great when it is finished.. (if not, you might consider changing your nickname.. j/k/ :D)
Keep it up

The body is moulded in blue plastic thats why you see blue, also the chassis is attached to it.

I painted the body and noticed that the blue is kinda dull, not a vivid blue, is it because I didn't use white primer? Some pics i have seen the blue is dull and others are vivid, it must be due to lighting conditions i suppose then. Anyone who done the Calsonic did they have a dull or vivid blue?

I have done the R33 Calsonic Skyline, and I kinda figured that being a race car, it wouldn't be the shiniest thing around, but it wouldn't be too dull, so mine is kinda semi-gloss.

The blue you used might be semi translucent, white primer MIGHT have made it better (I havent use the Calsonic blue before tho)

I tried it out on white plastic and there was a slight change that would not be noticable, must be the TS-44 Brilliant blue Tamiya made was not light enough.

Not quite finished but to let you know I made some progress. Need to order new spoiler since it snapped in half while polishing and a sheet of decals fell in a puddle of water and were soiled.
