This body needs work.

Only having one bumper style and not having a front number plate, so filling in the gaps with Tamiya putty.
![Album image #7 Album image #7](/albums/img/8/5/8/1548858-71874-12-720.jpg)
Made an exhaust tip from styrene tube.
![Album image #8 Album image #8](/albums/img/8/5/9/1548859-71874-19-720.jpg)
But this will need modifying first.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/8/5/7/1548857-71874-28-720.jpg)
Hmm... why doesn't it fit like it should?
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/8/6/0/1548860-71874-96-720.jpg)
Never mind, I have a plan...
![Album image #11 Album image #11](/albums/img/8/6/1/1548861-71874-72-720.jpg)
Ta da!
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/8/6/3/1548863-71874-78-720.jpg)
Spoon testing. Left is SMS Fluro Blue over white. Right is my own concoction of Tamiya acrylics, mixed together to make a mustard yellow leather colour. This one is over a white base.

Mustard yellow on interior parta
![Album image #14 Album image #14](/albums/img/8/6/4/1548864-71874-35-720.jpg)
Black Mr Surfacer as my semi-gloss black go-to.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/8/6/5/1548865-71874-83-720.jpg)
Undercarriage on its way to being done. This Fluro Blue is hard to get even. Might have to up my needle size for better evenness.
![Album image #16 Album image #16](/albums/img/9/3/8/1551938-71874-18-720.jpg)
Undercarriage and wheels completed. Weathered with Tamiya Dark Brown Panel Liner and Tamiya Weathering Kit D. The wheels are the kit chrome with the centre painted with SMS Gold Chrome Marker.
![Album image #17 Album image #17](/albums/img/9/3/7/1551937-71874-50-720.jpg)
Good view of the upgraded exhaust.

Seats painted.
![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/9/4/1/1551941-71874-67-720.jpg)
Headrests upgraded using guitar string.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/9/4/3/1551943-71874-50-720.jpg)
These parts glue together so they can fold.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/9/4/2/1551942-71874-30-720.jpg)
![Album image #23 Album image #23](/albums/img/5/5/1/1552551-71874-49-720.jpg)
Dashboard done.
![Album image #24 Album image #24](/albums/img/5/5/2/1552552-71874-47-720.jpg)
Interior flocked. Poorly I might add.
![Album image #25 Album image #25](/albums/img/5/5/8/1552558-71874-23-720.jpg)
Spare wheel cover installed.
![Album image #26 Album image #26](/albums/img/5/5/5/1552555-71874-35-720.jpg)
Rear shelf flocked.

![Album image #28 Album image #28](/albums/img/5/5/6/1552556-71874-51-720.jpg)
Rear seats folded down.
![Album image #29 Album image #29](/albums/img/5/5/7/1552557-71874-44-720.jpg)
Wheels on.
![Album image #30 Album image #30](/albums/img/5/5/9/1552559-71874-47-720.jpg)
Had to glue the wheels on because they were such a loose fit.
![Album image #31 Album image #31](/albums/img/5/5/4/1552554-71874-98-720.jpg)
Front grill done in SMS Gloss Black. Red border to come. My masking will need to be spot on.
![Album image #32 Album image #32](/albums/img/5/3/9/1553539-71874-76-720.jpg)
![Album image #33 Album image #33](/albums/img/9/4/8/1554948-71874-76-720.jpg)

![Album image #34 Album image #34](/albums/img/9/4/7/1554947-71874-65-720.jpg)
Light/grill insert blacked out. Can also see the filled in front done with Tamiya Putty.

Front grill painted in SMS Gloss Black and SMS Red.
![Album image #36 Album image #36](/albums/img/6/6/2/1587662-71874-15-720.jpg)
Body painted in SMS Fluro Blue. For some reason it was as thin as water and wouldn't go on smooth. I tried light coats, heavy coats, thinned coats, etc. But this was the end result.
![Album image #37 Album image #37](/albums/img/6/6/3/1587663-71874-26-720.jpg)
![Album image #38 Album image #38](/albums/img/6/6/4/1587664-71874-76-720.jpg)
Decanted a can Tamiya French Blue and went again. Lots of orange peel, but a more even coat for aire
![Album image #39 Album image #39](/albums/img/6/6/5/1587665-71874-99-720.jpg)
After wet sanding. Burned through a couple of little spots that will need to be touched up.

You are sneaking this one in past everyone!
A shame as it is looking really well.
