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.

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.

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.

Nooooooooooo how will we have a raffle?!?

Hope you're having fun!

There'll still be a raffle, not to worry. :-) Already got that taken care of. I'll be working, but it should be fun.

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.
