Hello
It looks like I will be the first one to build this awesome car in this GB. Here it's the first, compulsory photo:

Hello
Below my progress on the build. I forgot how enjoyable are the Tamiya kits. This one is no exception. If you not careful and shake the box too hard it will assemble itself

I have a bottle of Hell Green Magno for when I finally decide to buy that kit.

Don't know what I am waiting on really. I have already bought three more kits after having said to myself; "Self, NO MORE KITS THIS YEAR!". I don't know why I even bother talking to myself. I don't ever listen.

It is a rough a little bit in some places so wet sanding and another layer of paint in order

Small update
Below the part, a painting I feared the most. All in beautiful Tamiya chrome, but inside should be black. After considering few impossible masking options I painted it free hand and after each pass with a paintbrush, I was wipeing out the excess paint with my own finger . Worked a charm

Looking great - nice work on keeping the grill tidy!

What paint did you use for the body colour?

[Dragdy]

Tomcat64: body colour is kit's dedicated Zero paint - Designo Selenit Magno and Zero paints flat varnish
