Vertex Ridge Soarer

This is this non D1 version of the Aoshima kit :
Body sprayed Zero Lamborghini Arancio Altas pearl basecoat :


After clearing & polishing :


At the moment the rims are the kit supplied Volk GT-V's but I may swap them for GT-C's - I'll make a final decision nearer completion.
Thanks for looking
Andy

Re: Vertex Ridge Soarer

Made a bit more progress, the window trim has been masked up and sprayed semi-gloss black and the rear lights etc covered with Bare Metal Foil (clear red & orange definitely need tidying up). As the headlights buckets are moulded to the body and not a seperate chrome piece I had to mask them up and spray them with Alclad - the panel lines have also been added with grey enamel - next up is the interior.


Thanks for looking.
Andy

Re: Vertex Ridge Soarer

The paint turned out very well. Your airbrushing skills are well-honed.

Re: Vertex Ridge Soarer

Just a couple of pics of the partially completed interior. The main colour is Tamiya Neutral Grey with carbon fibre trim added using Studi 27 decal. The drivers seat is just in grey primer at the moment - I need to spray it black & add a harness once I've removed the mould lines. I need to add the centre part to the console and tidy up the paint on the rear shelf where it meets the seats - cf on the speakers could also do with tidying up - apart from that it's fine !.


Thanks for looking
Andy
