DAMN MAN!!! What a beauty clean work. I love Calibras. I did one many years ago, but... Yours way better, he he. I love that kit. Mmm... Thinking about purchase a new model again...
BTW man, don't forget to sand the rubber of the wheels.

SEE YOU, and good work

Nice paintjob.. Very smooth. Just thought I'd have a quick look, took me a while to look at the pictures as it's some pretty decent work.

I've got a Calibra to build, Yellow and white.. This is good stuff..

More updates

Hi,

I have done some more updates on the vehicle. Decals are now done!

Still needs a lot of cleaning, but even though I wanted you to see how it looks.

Next step: The clear coat!!! and its done!

Sorry for the low quality photos.... (it's dark already here!)

Very well done. But, I' mlooking, but can't find the rear diffuser. You're not going to build it? And another thing... Did you use the Tamiya TS-17 for the chassis interior and all that??

Yeah The rear diffuser is done. Partially covered with carbon fiber decal. I will show you that tommorow.

The interior was painted not with TS-17, but with chrome silver enamel airbrush applied. Looks even better I think.
