May 17, 2024I decided to paint the LARK colourscheme since I always have troubles with bigger decals. Thankfully the difference is barely noticeable since I still used some of the decals on the front since they were offering some more details.
Ofcourse I screw up the painting, here I forgot to mask off the two small bright red stripes, so I had to paint the panel white, then red again then mask it , and then again paint metal grey. Will I ever learn ?6
May 17, 2024The painting itself went very well according to my standards. I was able to rectify all of the mistakes.7
May 17, 2024Here the top is painted gunmetal gray, and on the bonnet is a decal. Since both colours are a bit apart from each other you cannot tell the difference. On the second thought I should have painted the hood also and just added the photoetch hood pins. Maybe next time 🙂8
May 17, 2024i did not like the fabric of the seatbelts, so I just did the seatbelts by painting the masking tape and cutting to size. I should have picked a different shade of blue, but I tried with this one and then I was too tired to redo with the correct one.9
May 17, 2024I added a lot of wiring to the engine bay. There was also an ugly plastic seam on the exhaust which I taped with 1mm masking tape and then added some rust pigment to it. I never thought it would work and I had no alu foil to wrap it properly. Still, it looks 1000 times better like that than with ugly seams10

May 17, 2024I am especially proud of the "telephone coil" wire that I added to the steering wheel. Its just a thin copper wire wrapped around another thin wire, then shaped and painted semi gloss black 🙂12

May 17, 2024I was in a hurry when I applied clear coat. The result: too hot. Some decals melted. Also metallic paint reacted not in a good way15

May 17, 2024I added the photoetched rivets and the metal edge of the spoiler, not sure if the latter was necessary but I was desperate to reuse at least something from the fujimi photoetch kit18
