This is going to look great. I especially like the little spoiler on the back! I don't know why, but something so small seems to make a huge difference (at least to my eyes....)

Terrific looking bodywork- even if it is heresy! What variety of putty do you use for your fender flares?

[Honoturtle]

Simply a beautiful start!

[ales]

Yes yes yes, make it nice deep shiny red!

here're update pics.
tried to make interior carpet by putty.
dissolved Tamiya lacquer putty and spreaded to floor of interior.
then put rough cloth on it.


after that,
applied gray->white primers then painted it flat red.
center console is semi-gloss red.



Finished interior paint.
*Yellow meters. gauges are hand paint.
*Steering wheel is my junk part. used Museum Collection decal for emblem on horn button.
*Removed molded pedals and used junk parts.
*Shifter is Sakatsu's metal parts.
*Used sports seats from Aoshima's old kit. black prancing hoses are Virages decals.

It's beauty!

God, the interior is FANTASTIC. Could you elaborate on that method with the putty? You mixed putty and thinner together so it was more mushy, flattened it out on the floor, and then ran a cloth over it for texture?

ufffffffffff!!!
that's all I can say right now
