Completed: 2nd gen Pajero/Montero...real dirrrrrrty

[nugundam93]

This'd be my first post in showing what I did, since i did stumble onto my links for this one just a few minutes ago while sifting through my work email (hehehe). got the chance to pick up about last january a 1/24 aoshima 2nd gen mitsubishi pajero/montero and being a bit frustrated that our gen2.5 pajero/montero is only in 4x2 config, i just decided to muddy this one up for kicks using a lot of tamiya putty. and i found some in-progress pics as well, so i'll paste them too.

here's the pics. sorry for the quality though, the digicam decided to kick the bucket and i just used a nokia 3650 for taking pics.

let's go for the in-progress first.


sprayed a basecoat of silver on the body in preparation for a gunmetal coat.



after the gunmetal coat.



interior and floorpan. i randomly mixed some field blue, blue, gray, and white...and luckily for me, i got the actual JDM leather color of blue-gray (got to verify this after i got to take a ride inside a friend's JDM pajero) as our local (philippine market) leather is in a gray color.



another shot.



the dash. was actually thinking of converting it to LHD from RHD but i decided otherwise. the conversion will happen when i get another kit to convert the gen2 body to gen2.5.

completed pic...without any weathering, just polished. too bad it was taken using artificial lighting and the 3650 couldn't get it all.



now the fun part, got to muddy it all up.







and for kicks, i did a small replica of our club sticker (see the logo over at www.mymitsuph.com)



i'll try to post more of my kits when i got a new cam.

That looks pretty sweet. Get some outdoor pictures when you can.

Did you mask off the wiper areas?

steve: i completely forgot to mask off the wiper areas. using an airbrush, i sprayed car thinner on it...then realized that it was eating the plastic. oh well. it still looked a bit muddy like the wiper hasn't taken the mud off.

cham: it's an aoshima one. frustrated that i had a chance way back a year ago to pick up a tamiya one (with moving spring rear suspension while the aoshima had a solid one) but didnt

found another pic.
