Mr DHi Trez,
I like your above comment, it's all part of the fun doing custom work and improving...l like scratch building little bits n bobs n details.
I'm trying to discipline myself on buying, lm trying to stick to build one buy one🤣
Trouble is if l buy a model with intention to build next..... Something else pops up !
How did you get on with the mottled effect on this build?? Did you practice on paper first ??
👍

TrezYes, it does seem to be a common issue🤭
I didn't practice on a piece of card or plastic sheet (which is the right way) I just go from one test bed kit to another. But what I found is - low pressure, higher dilution and end cap off airgun. Really best if one can get the thinnest line possible on a practice sheet. If it goes wrong it's no bad thing to tidy up with the base colour

Mr DThe Velejo decal soft worked ok on my Tamiya Harrier.....The roundals definitely needed good dose.
Good softener.
Nice paint job 👌👍👍

Nigel ChapmanResurrected this project [again] as it had been lying around for 2 years and the body was still not right in places the longer I kept looking at it.
24 hrs in brake fluid and paint was stripped for a second time (!), the photos show the end result.
It's not as bad as it looks and some areas could do with some extra work.
I have been looking at bodywork techniques so bought some Holts Cataloy knifing putty from Halfords for £2.99.
Applying it is an art form as it sets quickly so good practice on this body. Small amounts and one pass with the spatula seems best.
After sanding I've decided to refine the bodywork particularly the bumpers and rear.
So it is a restoration, remodel or build? 🤪

Nigel ChapmanEngine now 99% complete. There were some fiddly bits - issues with fitting the air intake, having to modify parts to fit. The drive shafts should have been attached from underneath once engine was fitted in the bay, you live and learn.
The kit distributor was removed and replaced with a pre wired aluminium one from Hiroboy.
It is a nice little engine that fits well in the Subaru engine bay.
