Agreed!:D

nice work

You liar! ;) j/k

That is not good for a first kit, IT IS AMAZING!!!

Great job so far! What color is that you're painting the interior with?

Looking good keep up the good work:)
Tom

Beautiful...Great detail

The color in the interior is a spray can paint I picked up in a paint shop. It has the correct color and has the right feel to represent leather....Not too glossy and with the correct thikness so it's really perfect for cream leather interiors...

Also because I don't have flocking material I made some areas more rough and with the second layer of paint looks perfect...


More pics soon!

Thanks for all the good comments...


P.S:I didn't added anything to the engine 'cause it's my first model but I did some detail paitning here and there...I think the result looks ok!(I wanted to add some wiring and a new air filter but I think I leave it for my second attempt!)

comming along nicely

nice build :) keep it up:sun:

Looks very nice.

looking pretty good dude
