It´s been a long time since the first post on this project. I invested some time and have some results of progress, I would like to share with you. Please feel free to comment.
After I primed the body with Tamiya Grey Primer, I added 3 coats of Tamiya Racing Green. Then it took quite some time to do the two white stripes on the sides. I had to redo parts of the original green paint job. Nevertheless I went on and sprayed the silver chrome parts and the flat black window trim. After the paint job was done, the body was rubbed with Tamiya Compound fine and finish.
To finish the body, I need to apply the decals and work on the door openers. Then everything needs to be waxed to complete the body.
Now some pictures. You may notice I started on the decals.
I also finished the chassis with paint job and front and rear axes. In some areas I need to redo some parts but for the moment I can show you some pics of it.
Besides that, I started to work on the engine. It is almost finished and will received detailing such as wiring this weekend. I already started on it, so some pics give you an idea, which direction I will head towards
Please comment on the progress. Do you think I should take chances and clear coat the body. I´m especially worried about these old decals.
