Thumbs down Re: WIP: Tamiya Mobil1 Honda NSX - the kit that made me quit...

Well...sorry for the long time, but this kit is doomed...

After the putty job went badly wrong I tried the other primer, the one on the post above. I took it out of the can, let it gas out for 24hrs and applied a new coat in the body. It was great, very thin, easy to airbrush and a nice finish.

But...since Iīve made the stupid choice to mount the rear wing prior to the painting I got loads of texture in the trunk under the wing. I decide that a start over was due, so I did it.

Put the whole body in a container with brake fluid, it works great but while scraping some residues i broke the left side A pillar...canīt get it fixed

Amazingly almost the same thing that happened almost 10 years ago.

Very frustrated and disappointed now...damn I love this hobby.

Anyone has one kit of this kind to sell?

Well maybe TowerHobbies will have more of my money now

In the meantime I started another kit and a WIP will be posted, it will be a Revell Trucks Series Chevrolet Silverado ī99.

Please some kind words now....

Thanks for reading.
