My first build in 25 years.
Already made some mistakes, but learning along the way, and overall happy with how it's progressing.

Lovely build! The GT-2 is a nice kit to build

Your running gear looks great
What paints and wash did you use for engine and suspension???

Been slowly working on the bits and pieces.

Interior is making slow progress:


Spraying more of the body work and practicing masking off parts:


And mostly finished the running gear apart from a couple of skirting pieces:


Used the Tamiya weathering kits plus some dry brushing X-13 on the tips of the exhaust to make it look a bit more detailed. I think it turned out OK.

Looking good

Interior finished, putting the final touches to the exterior today, should be finished this afternoon!

I'm calling this model done.
Need to work on my masking and gluing skills, but overall happy with the result considering it's my first completed model in over 25 years, plus first time I've painted every component of a model.
Played with some weathering/dirt due to some poor gluing on my part on the side skirts, as well as exhaust staining. This was using the Tamiya weathering kits.

Hand painted the gold on the rims, as well as a lot of the interior and tail/indicator lights.

First time using spray cans to prime, colour and gloss, so that was interesting. I've now purchased an airbrush, ready for the next kit.

Dang!! Came out nice! Super detail on the interior, and stellar job on the wheels - they look awesome.

I feel your pain painting these kits with rattle cans... it's a challenge, huh??
You've done a great job on the GT2, though!
