started on too many things at once. it is very difficult to prioritise with such amount of really interesting details. after the nose gear I will try to focus on the cockpit

welcome and thanks Skyhiker, Sergej, Rolf, Alex, Patrick and Maciej!
following up with the interior, I wanted to get rid of any and all gloss with flat coat but it made everything brighter. might leave it or ill try to darken the side panels later. gotta let it lie for a bit🙂

That is very nice. It's good to see an unusual subject like this. I think I had a Matchbox car very similar to that.

@George, thanks! Concept car from the late 60s. Always been one of my favorite concepts.
@David, I know Hot Wheels did a version in 1970 and Matchbox did one in 1971. Pretty sure I had the Matchbox version as well at some point.

So cool to see this one build! Great! I love those old prototypes and how they saw the sports car for the future.

@Alexander, I have been buying the SMP24 kits for about 4 years now. It was not easy to find or purchase them in the beginning but I have been a pretty consistant purchaser since. I am not sure how many actually get out of Japan or Asia for that matter. Definately not easy or inexspensive to obtain.
@Christian, thanks! I am also a big fan of this era of prototypes, most concepts from the 70s though the 90s I felt really captured what it meant to create really wild and intersting concepts.

@ Marcel, thank you very much!
@Mr. D It was designed by Marcello Gandini while he was with Bertone in 1968.

What can you tell us about the quality of the kit? Sharpness of casting, amount of details, difficulties during building....

@shadowlight You can watch the full build of the kit on my YouTube channel and see what it consists of. I don't do a lot of resin so I don't have much to compare it to but I find the resin to be a little soft so things like scribing are difficult for me when I am so used to doing it with plastic. The interior is beyond detailed with so many tiny photoetch pieces it is amazing, as it is with many of their kits. The engines in the SMP kits I find are always bitter sweet. They have fantastic detail for the parts that are included but I also feel they are a little simplified and ccould use a few more extra bits to them just to detail them up a little more. All SMP kits come with great photo etch parts and a level of details that is beyond my expectations. Just understand this is a garage kit and more in line with something you may 3d print rather than building a Tamiya or other styrene kit. A lot of the parts can benefit from pins to hold better and you have to decide if you want to go through all that yourself. I love the two SMP kits I have built so far and I have several more of them that I am eager to get into as well. I really enjoy building them.

Thanks, will check out the YouTube build, l really like Gandini design's... The Miura is my favourite, but the kits I've seen don't look that great.
Thanks for info..... Appreciate it 😃👍👍

Watch the Cab to Chassis interface on this kit. My GMGC had some difficulty with that!

Thanks for the heads-up. I've been dry-fitting the floor and the rear body (main parts already built) and they seem to fit well enough to the chassis, but I won't know for sure until I get the cab built, of course.

I was the same for mine! I still think I messed something up. But they look great when finished!

I have seen somebody build a Dragon M3 halftrack, and he had some trouble lining up the cab and the back half, so I think it will pay to keep a close eye on fit straight from the start.

Unfortunately the model has suffered unrepaired damage and will not be completed. 😥 Maybe I will buy the kit again later.

Oh, I am so sorry, it looked absolutely superb! 🙁 But I know, these things happen from time to time, one bad move and it all goes down the drain.

It happened that I overdid the chipping. When it was done, I felt I had chipped too much paint. These Zeroes were not as characteristically worn as the green ones. I thought I'd start over and started washing it off with thinner. The Leveling thinner didn't clean it off though, it just mixed the paint with the metallic paint. I tried to wash it off with Mr. Tool Cleaner, but it immediately dissolved the plastic, deforming the wing.
So sadly, I gave up on it. I dismantled the landing gear, cockpit, propeller and engine cowling, which I was able to salvage and will use in another project later.

A good rule of thumb when chipping, when you get to the point where you say "maybe just a bit more"......STOP! Leave the model for a couple of days or a week then take a look at it again. At that point you will, in most cases, say just right.
This is a hard rule to master. Even with my super worn Hawker Typhoon I should have stopped sooner.
Yes go and get another kit and use the wonderful work to finish that one or use what you salvaged to add to a diorama. (striped down cockpit trainer with some pilots and instructors observing) There are so many good IJN figures in1/72 these days.
