Thanks @johnb and Spiros @fiveten. On opening the box I found lots of sprues of different colours all tightly but safely packed in the relatively big box. I decided to start work on the bodywork, why? Because I wanted to get a good glossy polished finish for a change. Usually I build competition cars from the 60s and 70s which didn’t have highly polished paintwork but this was a modern road car.
After adding the front I gave it a careful sanding and the first coat of white primer, and left it for 24 hours before another sanding and a second coat of primer.
Tamiya have added some new colours to their range and I decided to use TS-92 Metallic Orange as a top coat.
After sanding the primer again this is how it looks after the first coat, I must be self-disciplined and leave it for another 24 hours, not my usual style……..
That’s all for now, thanks for looking and happy modelling.
