marvin20 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Here is what I'll be building. This will be my first attempt at building a car model. I normally build aircraft, hopefully I can do this kit justice, it looks fantastic in the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nice, I've got a couple of those NSX kits in the stash too. For the paint, make sure you prime it before the color coats, and Tamiya rattle cans are your friend! If you prefer to airbrush, you can decant them and they lay down really well that way too. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marvin20 Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Here are a few update photos. The first is of a few of the sub assemblies masked and primed. Here we have the sub assemblies sprayed gloss black in preparation for installation. The brake rotors have been painted with Alclad paint The body of the car with a few pieces installed. The underside of the car with the front and rear suspension assemblies installed. And the rotor and brake calipers installed as well. Hope to get more time in on this kit later this week.

marvin20 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 How we doing? Bringing it on the 12th? Hey Kris, I won't make the meeting, will be out of town. Progress has been slow lately, haven't had much time to get to the bench to work on it. Hoping to get back to work on it in a week from now. QT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

marvin20 Posted May 17, 2015 Author Share Posted May 17, 2015 Here are a few more photos, the model is essentially complete. Nee to reattach one of the pieces on the front fender that came off while I was moving it to photograph the model. Hope you like the photos. QT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
