Me, the day I bought my Renault 5. 8 years ago!

Interior done. Turned out so-so. I am happy with my airbrush painting but as soon as i touch a brush it turns to sh*t. Will have to practice and dare to start using my good brushes.

Engine turned out alright. Not very detailed in this kit, though.

Tried using panel line accent on the seats, did not work out well haha. The beige paint absorbed it and even though I applied the tiniest amount it bled out like crazy. The more you know!

Wow! What an awesome kit. I drive a Renault 5 also. Mine is a 1984 TX. I can imagine the pleasure or building a model car that you own in real life. I wish you all the best with your kit. I am looking forward to see your progress as it is such a beautiful model to do.

I have actually made quite a lot of progress on this kit but I became unhappy with the results, mainly with the clear coat, so I put it back in the box and paused it. I am currently building a Tamiya 1/12 motorcycle kit, but maybe I will revisit this soon. It is very closed to finished. I will upload some pictures of the interior and engine compartment so you can see at least that!

I decided to just finish up some of my WIP🤔, the R5 is therefor done. It served as a learning ground for a bunch of new paints and techniques, and even though I'm not overly pleased with the overall finish I think it turned out OK. It looks pretty good from a distance and will serve as a good memory from my first car.

Trying to replicate my first car, a 1984 Renault 5 TL Exclusive. A basic model with metallic paint and Alpine striping.
