I didn't expect to get into them at all but they are actually a ton of fun
Thanks for the paint comment, went through hell on that but learned a good lesson

Cracking build and finish there mate. As someone who seems to have no end of problems with getting yellow to cover properly over large areas, that's a great finish. I will conquer yellow and white one day...bound to be something silly that's stopping me getting it right

Well done again

Thanks Nathe,
I still can't say I am conquering anything paint wise, this is far from a perfect paint job
There are so many variables in spraying it is a little daunting

In the process of moving right now. Everything is still packed up. Looking for a Fujimi F-40 LM car to take some parts from. I finally got an airbrush, now just waiting on a compressor. Trying to finish the R8, then I have to decide on which model in the stash to do next. Decisions, decisions. lol :bash:
