Thanks for looking in and your comments. They do a couple of cars but it best to take a look at what they do link below:-

Thanks man! I'll take a look

All the parts were given a coat of Ultimate grey primer and when dry several light coats of semi gloss black. Lots of masking tomorrow to put the zero jet black paint down in the right place. Started prepping the hood

Laid down the decals on the rear end,doors and centre section and then gave all a 2K clear coat. Added the valves to the wheel rims and clear coated them too but forgot to take a picture . More assemble can get finished now and that just leaves the hood to paint and clear coat.

That looks amazing mate!

This one is coming out perfect.. .look at the paint shine!

Nice Andy! The paint looks killer

Absolutely spectacular!

Thanks everyone for looking in and your comments.

The sub assemblies are starting to be assembled with the upper centre section being attached to the lower section using 6 supplied screws. The wheels have now been attached too. The wheels came pre- sprayed gold in the kit which on inspection turned out to be a nice gold color with a smooth finish so all I did was to add the valves and give them a 2k clear coat. The tyres themselves are also as supplied having only the Good Year decals added.

This is excellent mate. Coming along now!

It's looking absolutely great! Very nice work!

stunning Andy, looking like you’re on the home straight now

Thanks for looking in and your comments everyone

Fantastic Beast!

Damn it Hawk! This is another one that will have to be added to my wish list! Can’t you just make a hash of a build one time so I don’t feel the urge to buy the same kit!!

Looks amazing, can’t wait to see it finished.

Sorry Gary just doing my thing but be aware the kit may be on a short run production like Trumpy did with it when they brought it out. Hiroboy still have it on back order so you might need to be sharpish in getting one and thanks both for looking in and your comments

Had life catch up with me so not busy at the bench for a couple of days but managed to do a bit. All the pipe work at the rear has been finished off ,the final upper suspension rods added along with the carburetta assembly. The front body and hood have been sprayed jet black decals added and the given the 2K treatment.

Amazing as always mate! this is really tempting me to splurge on the super detail kit, ahhh I didn’t want to spend that much money on it, why do you do this to me Andy

So Nice!

@Bdiddy I know its a big call on that detail set but it is really worth it in my honest opinion and another thing is if you dont get it you will look at the car thinking I should have.

Andy

Really nice Andy,
The detail kit certainly adds to the kit.

Totally agree mate, I will definitely regret it if I don’t buy it

Calling this one done, great kit that went together well

I am wondering why adding the extra metal etched on the dash etc, before painting?

Nice work and great results. I have one of these too so it's nice to hear the assemblies went together well. From what I see in yours it looks like I need to get the detail set for the kit.

Thanks for sharing the build thread.
