JGTC Mobil1 NSX completed

Another one of those laying-around kits I wanted to finish badly to make room.

Didnt' turn out too bad.

Decals clearcoated for the first (and the last) time.











Don't they make a great couple ?





Sorry I couldn't get you some pics of the great and detailed engine ...

anyways, enjoy !




Olivier

Clean job!
BTW, it's JGTC. Not GJTC. I guess you typed too fast.

Thanks for the replies.

As for the clearcoating is concerned, I do believe it gives a nicer , cleaner job, but at what costs?

I spent about 3 mist coats on the body to get it right, but then did one fat coat, and all was oké...

Then I realised I forgot to CC the wing, so I thought 3 mist coats is a bit too safe, as nothing cracked on the body, so I sprayed one mist and one fat coat on the wing....

Result ===> it started cracking up my decal, and I had to sand it, and take out the cracks by sanding, and had almost to repaint the whole decal, because it had cracks all over it .

So, probably the last time I clearcoat, I m just not patient enough!
