Here are the body components and the rear window mounted spoiler. They were painted with decanted Tamiya aerosol lacquer TS-16, by my good friend, Andrew Birkbeck. I would have painted them myself, but was in my work clothes at the time...
|
Here's the instrument panel, with the decals applied. I will need to touch the panel-one of the decals is slightly out of register. I will use a technical pen to eliminate the excess white visible on the glovebox.
|
The interior is molded with the seats integral to the floorpan, which makes masking and painting a challenge. I masked the aluminum (painted with Testors Metallizer non-buffing aluminum) with Tamiya tape, and painted the seats and floorpan Poly-Scale Grim

I painted the inside of the body with Poly-S Grimy black, masked it off, and primed the body with Mr. Surfacer 1200 thinned with Mr.Color thinner. I sprayed several thin coats, and dried the body in my food dehydrator.
|
Next up will be wet sanding, followed by another primer coat.

Here is the chassis, painted with Poly-S Grimy Black. The exhaust is painted with Tamiya Flat Aluminum. It's glosscoated with Testors lacquer, preparatory for an oil wash to bring out what little detail there is...
|
The instrument panel was first painted Poly-S Grimy Black, then masked with Tamiya tape. I sprayed Mr. Surfacer again for the light gray.
|
The instrument has also been painted and gloss coated. Next up is to apply the decals.
