Looks good Nik. Give that shell plenty of time to dry, and you should be good for clear coat 🙂

Thanks Bozzer. I will certainly do that, do lacquers take longer to cure/dry? And no sanding before the clear coat?

Really, it should be dry now, but with the weather we've had, I'd wait until tomorrow. It's supposed to be a good morning? I'd personally check in real light, that you're happy with the colours, and if you are, shoot it with a coat of clear. Check that, when dry, and decals. Then clear coat again, once the decals are dry. Try to cover the body with a plastic tub or something, to prevent dust from settling on your clear coat 😉

Yes! Decals and final gloss coat done, just waiting on the final polish now. Thank you for the advice, it's turning out quite nicely I think!

That's looking awesome buddy! Let that clear, dry for a few days, before doing any buffing.
It's usually at this point, I start another build.
However, work is only hours away, and weekend looks like a lifetime away 🙁

looks real nice! I am playing Gran Turismo 7 and this car actually drives nice consider it's age. Now I want one.

I think that looks really awesome, on the Brian James trailer. They both compliment eachother!
Nice work buddy 👍

Thanks Bozzer and István. The switches came with the kit, it's a super detail kit so lots of photoetch and extras. Very impressed with the contents.
