Dodge Viper GTS 96

Hey Everyone, ive finally finished my Viper & have some pics for you.
It was a troublesome build, the AMT kit is not the best & i struggled with parts fit, I also think some parts are warped & inaccurate, but nether the less I have prevailed. Im a huge Vier fan and always wanted to build a coupe with this paint scheme. In brief its designed to be a weekend racer that drive to the track, races & drives away (hopefully).
Please let me know what you think and feel free to ask anything.
A link to the progress thread http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=936352

Colours are Tamiya Pearl White, Mica Blue & Metallic Red, all sanded smooth & clearcoated



















Added Harness & a racing Helmet into the interior for good measure


Thanks for looking, let me know what you think

Cheers
Ash

The painting is excellent. Did you just mask and spray?

Re: Dodge Viper GTS 96

What material did you use for the blue wiring on the engine?
Did it come that colour or require painting?

Paint work looks fabulous by the way!

It's not my build but that looks like 30ga wire wrap wire that is available from Radio Shack.

Re: Dodge Viper GTS 96

Thanks Guys,
The blue wire is from Mr Hobby or something like that and i think it is 0.3mm thick. For the painting, i redrew the design on the computer and cut it out of vinyl and applied it as a mask to the white body then just masked off the colour i didnt want. Then sanded smooth & followed by several coats of clear.
Heres the vinyl mask - It helps that Im a signwriter and have easy access to this stuff.


And painting Blue
