Honda S2000

[iceracer1]

The wheater is very bored in the Netherlands right now, so I was thinking about building a cabrio model I picked up the Tamiya Honda S2000 out of my pile.



The inside is pretty nice









The original wheels looks good, but I need to replace them anyway I think these rare Gartmaier SSR wheels look perfect.







The color would be Pearl Honda by Honda.

I primered the body and painted it in yellow. But something happened and the paintjob was horrible.... I put the model in brakefluid for a few days to strip the paint.

After some new putty and sanding I could primer it again.



And today I painted the body in yellow. The paint is a 2 part paint, so I sprayed a basecoat first and then some pearl yellow.














I hope to clearcoat it next week.

The kit itself is also sweet so why not buying this kit

And did you see something nice than in Amsterdam except the redlight district and coffeeshops

What else does a person need maybe a model shop or two.

Kris the paint looks good although not a big fan on the wheels you chose. Keep us posted.

Wheels are painted Slate Grey by Porsche.

I have to take back what i said before, the wheels really grew on me escpecially with that paint combo.

[iceracer1]

Yesterday I polished the body. Today I masked the body to paint the black body parts and windows.

I planned to do nothing on them. I scribed the panellines out to make them a bit deeper and I think they are good now. No need for a wash I think.

It can ruin your model if you do wrong was on the panellines.

Although light grey panel lines on light colors works good also.
