Rebuilding Fujimi's Sil-80 (1:24)

Completed more than 10 years ago this was my first car model.
A couple of months ago, while cleaning up the model's shelf, my cat managed to throw some from the table top to the floor! I decided to repair them and this is the result of repainting the Sil-80.

After removing all body paint and repairing some problems, a coat of primer was applied.





Some small issues were noticed and corrected before the application of a further primer coat, readying it for color application.




After 2 coats of paint, decals were applied.




I hope to apply clear gloss soon and complete it in a couple of weekends.
Cheers
Marco Preto

Here are a few more photos.

After polishing the clear coated base color, the body was masked and satin black was applied (sorry for the bad white balance on these photos).




After removing the mask, a tooth pick was used to clean up some paint that creaked under the masking tape.




I hope to post more soon.

Cheers
