Porsche GT3 / Honda NR

Hello Everyone,

I have been following the forums for sometime now as a guest but finally I decided to write as well.

I am building two kits at the moment to learn about model car (motorcycle) building. One is the Tamiya GT3 which I think is an easy kit to build which enabled me to focus on painting (and pulling my hair). And the other one is the Honda NR. Here are couple pics I took. These are being built out of box so bare with me... I do not want to run before learning to walk



I painted the body of the NR with Boyd Red (which I think is wonderful. It shines before even buffing and sanding and leaves no orange peels)



The GT3 was painted with tamiya gloss yellow. It has lots of orange peel and while buffing I went all the way down to the primer (that includes gloss coat) So I am going to sand it alittle and use the Boyd Yellow and leave it alone for a week...

Enjoy,
