Not sure about the flat black on a modern car.

But it looks like a very clean build. Excellent work!

Need to pick one of these up myself.

Nice build. Interesting contrast in having (what looks to be) a white interior. Maybe next time, glue the bumper on a bit tighter. Good job though.

Nice build, good attentions on the details, but looks a bit strange to me in matte black. The headlights also look a bit too light to me - or is it only me?
Whatever, very nice build overall!

[Backybay]

Good design.

what kind of flat black did you use?

on the real cars the flat black seems to be a bit more shinny.

I figured out that tamiya white primer under tamiya flat black will make the black shinnier

a white primer won't do much under matt black. If you want a bit more shiney, you should try satin black. Revell makes a verry nice satin black (I believe it's n°85) Or make you're own mix gloss varnish with matt and gloss clear.

White primer + prisma color flat black

Tamiya Semi-gloss black perhaps?

Yeh i agree, a semi-gloss black or a satin black would look more realistic, but its your taste. Good paint job nonetheless, as flat black is sometimes tricky to apply a even coat. Thanks for sharing.
