Finish the model off

Thanks for the positive response! The paint truely looked like crap before the last two coats..it's a little better now. I think it'll finish off to be a pretty good kit. Should wrap it up this weekend.

What's up with the "next project ????" in your sig? I've been waiting on you to start another for about 3 days now! Weren't you planning on building a Rally car? And what happened to the Evo you started a while back? Your skills have me hooked, I (like everyone else) keep a sharp eye out for your posts!

Last update before it gets finished off.
Just a few details left such as the mirrors, grill and light covers.
Overall it's a good kit that provides a few challenges along the way.

The paint looks bright in direct light /\ and very dark in shadows \/

Wow Looks nice! I am glad you decided to keep that paint on. I really NEED this kit.

Good Job Rick!
Although it seems as though it doesn't sit flat?
nice to see you kept the paint!

Damn...I can't slip anything by you guys!

Good eye! The interior tub sat very high, causing the nose of the car to sit about 1mm higher on one side when it was on the chassis. Being my genius self I cut the mounting spacers (on the tub) down in an attempt to correct the issue. I didn't realize that the transmission tunnel was also high...needless to say the interior tub now sits on the tranny tunnel and rocks from side to side. Making one side higher than the other. So instead of solving the problem I created a new one! I'll fabricate a spacer to correct it before it gets finalized.

Bane- Check my sig. I have one of these listed in the classified thread!
