Back into the hobby!

After many years away from the hobby, I have gotten back into modeling. I used to model Military aircraft but this year I purchased a 350Z and wanted to recreate it in 1/24. This gave me the "bug" to get back into modeling, specifically autos. These 4 models are the first models that I have ever sanded and polished the finish on. I'm not great with the detail work yet but I'm getting there. Any comments or criticisms are welcomed, as I want to learn from my errors.

Revell 1/24 "Daytona" (Based on the Miami Vice McBurnie Daytona)
Painted w/ Tamiya Black and Clear





Revell 1/24 1953 Chevy Bel Air (My Dad owns a real '53 Chevy)
Painted w/ Tamiya Pearl Grean and Pure White. Chrome trim is Bare Metal Foil and bumpers and badges are Alclad chrome.





1/24 Tamiya Porsche 959
Painted w/ Duplicolor Auto Paints and Clear





1/24 Aoshima 2007 Fairlady Z (Based on the car I purchased this year)
Painted with ScaleFinishes K51 Carbon silver and Testors Wet Look Clear

Re: Back into the hobby!

Those look really nice!

The paint looks very smooth and shiny on each one.
Trims are carefully done I can see.

If anything, show us some closer pictures, then I can see if there is anything I can suggest.

Yeah, there are really good.
