[Tamiya] Ford Mustang GT4 (Job Log)

I stabbed my finger and it hurts. It is very sharp, so be careful.

Don't cut.

I will remove this mold.

Trimming and washing.

I painted inside to black for anti subsurface scattering.

L: Fluorescent yellow.
R: Overcoated in a light yellow.

Done.

L: Need cut off.
R: Carbon pattern not printed properly.

I drew a vector logo to try out a laser engraver.

I put masking tape on the PET and cut it.

1st: Stick to outside.
2nd: Stick to inside.
3rd: Remove outside.

And, I paint with a black and carbon pattern.

Then I remove it.
But, the edge was not clean.

Hahaha I'm going to erase everything and use the decals.

White surfacer (Gloss).

Gloss clear coated (once)

L: Momodeling fluorescence yellow (I use this)
R: IPP fluorescence yellow
Maybe I think 'L' is not pigment type.

Print miss. So I didn't use the little decals.

Decaling done.

Various base colors were painted on the small parts.

'Gloss Black' and 'Gloss Clear' coat.

Gloss clear coated. (once)

Compounding done. But paint has been erased.

Tamiya Pannel Line Accent.

Problems occurred when removing the tape after masking and painting only the erased areas.

Heavy trouble....

When I carefully removed the decal film, the film was intact and only the ink was attached to the masking tape.

Inevitably, I have to make letters with stencils.

This time, I masked the decal as carefully as possible so that it doesn't fall off again.

I think the result is quite satisfactory.

Gloss coated and polished(rough).

Masking...

Done.

Black surfacer.

Carbon pattern using stockings.

Partial painting with a brush.

I was worried that the decal would come off again if I masked it, so I painted the window frame with a brush.

Ready to assemble.

The interior decals are from Tamiya.

I used a silver foil sticker from GunPla.

Assembling the lower part

Tires and windshield. (Indycals)

Pre-assemble.

Interior done.

Interior done.

Interior done.

I missed.
Painted with 'Vallejo Mecha Black Primer'.

Assemble, Re

Assemble, Rear

Assemble, Front.

Assemble, Front.

I used Hasegawa 'White Finish' for the inside of the headlamps, which should be painted white.

I cut the metal sticker included with the Tamiya case and apply mirror.

Attach everything that needs to be attached inside the shell...

And after joining the upper and lower plates, I attached the under cowl.

Finally, attach the rest of the exterior parts and done.

Finish~

I found that the tamiya tape did not give me a clean edge
Paint bleads under it I am going to try frog tape

Maybe i think, I am concerned that the adhesive force will not be strong for use in models.
If the masking tape is old, or if dust adheres to the side during storage, the edges will be not clean.
If the surface to be masked is flat and uncomplicated, I recommend masking film.

I bugth some tamiya tape and used it a few days later and found bleading paint
I have used frogtape before
not on models
But to me it looks like its better
So I will give it a go
It you use frogtape you need to rub the tape on hard
It dosent stick like Tamiya does
But I will let you know how I go

I've found Tamiya tape can be a bit hit & miss around the edges. I thought it was just me doing it wrong!

Always interesting to hear what experiences others have
And I think in this build ms k has had some of the problems I have seen for myself
And I know the tape was very new
I also noticed the problem whed bleeding in other people's builds
Specaly on taping up clears
And also noticed it on people masking up for stripes
So I think its more miss then hit lol

It looks like the tape took the clear and the ink with it... Most unusual and a shame as the build was really looking good so far. Please save her!
