Painted black surfacer. (Gaianotes)
![Album image #6 Album image #6](/albums/img/5/3/1/1352531-37066-13-720.jpg)
The surfacer in the unsanded areas fell off powerlessly.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/5/3/2/1352532-37066-36-720.jpg)
Just in case, I sanded all the places where the surfacer fell off while attaching and removing the tape on the other parts.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/5/3/3/1352533-37066-46-720.jpg)
This time, the etching parts also need to be painted, so I painted with Vallejo Mecha Primer (black).
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/5/3/4/1352534-37066-32-720.jpg)
If the plated wheel is painted black from the inside, the spokes will look thinner and more edge.

IPP Super Gold.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/5/6/1/1352561-37066-94-720.jpg)
Mirror-like plated parts. However, due to the gate marks, I sanded it down and then applied Vallejo Gloss Black Primer.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/5/6/2/1352562-37066-52-720.jpg)
And... Painted chrome.
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/5/6/3/1352563-37066-14-720.jpg)
The gate marks on the lightly plated parts were sanded and then painted with normal silver.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/5/6/4/1352564-37066-97-720.jpg)
I painted the carbon pattern using stockings.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/5/6/9/1352569-37066-63-720.jpg)
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/5/6/8/1352568-37066-96-720.jpg)
I mixed it to paint it a very pale yellowish silver color.
The left, which I first mixed, was more yellow than expected, so I mixed one more with Tamiya's titanium silver as a base.(Arrow)

Clear coated.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/5/7/2/1352572-37066-32-720.jpg)
Clear coated to carbon pattern parts too.
If the carbon pattern is coated with glossy clear, the pattern becomes clearer.

![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/2/2/6/1353226-37066-61-720.jpg)
Vallejo Mecha Primer(Sand).
You don't have to worry about the color development of the primer because you're going to paint a paint with good shielding power on top of it anyway.

![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/2/2/7/1353227-37066-17-720.jpg)
For the red leather color, Gaianots Oxide Surfacer was used.

For finishing, we recommend the ceramic compound on the right.

Ready to assemble.
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/1/4/7/1354147-37066-54-720.jpg)
Assembly starts with the engine.
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/1/4/8/1354148-37066-68-720.jpg)
Detail-up with PE included in optional parts.
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/1/4/9/1354149-37066-13-720.jpg)
Assembled engine.
![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/1/5/0/1354150-37066-10-720.jpg)
The interior was also assembled and placed on the lower plate along with the engine.
![Album image #35 Album image #35](/albums/img/1/5/1/1354151-37066-43-720.jpg)
Another photo one.

Another photo one.
![Album image #37 Album image #37](/albums/img/1/5/3/1354153-37066-24-720.jpg)
The inside of the tail lamp was painted with a chrome marker.
![Album image #38 Album image #38](/albums/img/1/5/4/1354154-37066-16-720.jpg)
Assembled the tail lamp and exhaust.
The tail lamps are all divided by color, so it was very easy to assemble.

![Album image #39 Album image #39](/albums/img/1/5/5/1354155-37066-20-720.jpg)
The rear parts were also attached to the lower plate, and the wheel axle parts were also attached to the front.
![Album image #40 Album image #40](/albums/img/1/6/8/1354168-37066-92-720.jpg)
Just following to the manual...
![Album image #41 Album image #41](/albums/img/5/8/9/1354589-37066-85-720.jpg)
I roughly restored the thing that I missed and fell into the plate where I put the ROCTITE.
![Album image #42 Album image #42](/albums/img/5/9/0/1354590-37066-13-720.jpg)
The windshield and dashboard were attached to the frame.
The marked part seems to be a fuel tank, but about 60 liters?
Considering the fuel economy of this car, I think 60 liters is small.

Cockpit done.
![Album image #44 Album image #44](/albums/img/5/9/3/1354593-37066-84-720.jpg)
It is good to coat the parts attached from the inside of the hood with wood glue so that they do not fall off after assembly.
![Album image #45 Album image #45](/albums/img/5/9/2/1354592-37066-94-720.jpg)
For the rear hood, etching parts must be attached, but since there is no separate guide mold for the attachment location, it must be attached carefully with Loctite.
After attaching it, lightly coat it with wood glue to make it stick more firmly.

Assembled the door.
It's thick and has a lot of detail, so it seems like there are a lot of parts, but it's made up of three pieces.

![Album image #47 Album image #47](/albums/img/6/0/8/1354608-37066-57-720.jpg)
It's a little tricky to assemble because one of the wing's pillars is divided.
The lip spoiler was surprisingly easy to attach.

![Album image #48 Album image #48](/albums/img/6/0/9/1354609-37066-52-720.jpg)
A metal sticker included in the optional parts was applied.
![Album image #49 Album image #49](/albums/img/6/1/6/1354616-37066-90-720.jpg)
There are no guides or indications for the location or angle of side mirror attachment, so you have to rely on your senses and attach them with a well-balanced left and right. 😠
![Album image #50 Album image #50](/albums/img/6/1/7/1354617-37066-21-720.jpg)
The front and rear hoods can be assembled with a choice of open or closed.
They designed it so well, I don't understand why they didn't add door hinges.

![Album image #51 Album image #51](/albums/img/6/1/8/1354618-37066-40-720.jpg)
It felt like the producers were passionately designing molds, but eventually gave up due to running out of stamina.
![Album image #52 Album image #52](/albums/img/6/3/9/1354639-37066-91-720.jpg)
I don't like open gimmicks anyway, so I'll cover them all, but I applied glue for temporary fixing to the necessary parts to harden them so that they don't completely fix.
The green glue shown in the back is water-based and retains moisture even after completely hardening, so you can attach and detach the parts.

I should have detailed-up the rivets around the headlamps, but I forgot, so I worked on it belatedly. 😉
All done. Thanks for watching~

Thanks Jv. This time Just nothing special and I just finished it normally.
Never use a lighter when correcting a twisted part, just soak it in hot water for a few seconds, remove it, twist it slightly in reverse, and cool it in cold water.

@Marco - I know that 'Huayra' doesn't fit well. But while working on the C12, there was no part that didn't fit well. 😉
