I was lucky enough to win this in a Oxfam auction off fleabay so win win for me and Oxfam. Not too much in the box sprue wise but its a typical Tamiya kit with no flash just the odd blemish to tidy up and you can tell its age with how the tyres are packed like they were an upgrade to the kit. The instructions are typical Tamiya. This is an old kit and hard to find now so knowing this I ordered the Tobacco advertising from an aftermarket source but when the kit arrived I ended up replacing the kit decals too. There is also an after market carbon set for the outside of the vehicle and inside I settled on the outside set along with the aftermarket etch set The paint set is from Zero paints so we are all set to go.

LOVE this car in this livery.
I got the same kit in December
But you have the zero paints to match

Have you used them before??
Be very very careful with your layers...super thin or it WILL eat your plastic, primer or not

Yes Hawk! I think you know I’ve got this in the stash too, will be a build a few down the line for me so I’m very much looking forward to you absolutely nailing it so I can hang on to your coat tails and hopefully glean some tips from your build, good luck buddy!
PS this car just isn’t the same without the tobacco sponsorship, so I’m glad you’re going down that route.

There are a lot of people who don’t realize how HOT

these paints are and it has caused a lot of rifts in modelling world
They are designed as automotive paints to sit on metal, not plastic. They seem to vary in their hotness batch by batch, which makes sense as they are likely hand mixed from car sources into small modelling bottles.
People get really bent when you blame the paint for destroying a model, which they very well can do even if you are careful...as the margins for error are very very narrow. Tons of bad blood, angry modellers, angry suppliers and arguments over who’s fault a destroyed model is or how dare you say these paints are risky and should be avoided.
I can’t get Zero easily in Canada, so haven’t used them much.
Had problems with a Splash brand ’Beast of the green Hell’ paint as I got it wet in one area and it crazed the plastic just a touch. They are automotive lacquers, you can tell from the smell.
User beware kind of deal really, but it shouldn’t be causing such bad blood in the modelling world

These paints are indeed unpredictable. My bg 944 turbo have problems with this paint.
The body went well, but there are difficulties with the hood. It is like potato field. Painted very thin layers, but it is terrible. Will show the final results. Because of this, I will no longer buy Zero paints, but will finally switch to Gravity colors.

What I understand about this is that metal paints in particular are the biggest problem, because they are indeed designed to paint metal. Because of the they are hot, they store electricity on the surface of the paint which causes the particles to get together and it spoils the surface and the plastic. That problem cannot be prevented because it is not possible to remove the electrical charge from the plastic. After all, it is easy to remove from metal. Yes, and I know this from my own experience. I do for a living sometimes painted parts of the wind generators. The paint was practically the same as the zero paints used and always came with an electric charge which had to be removed by touching the object with a spray gun. You never know what you will get from Zero's paint. And Will Pattison also talked lacquer paints cousing grazing sometimes, and you cant do anything for that.

I too have heard the horror story's but in all the time I have used them I have to say I have never had a problem with them eating plastic unless its self inflicted like when I thought that bit needs a tad more and ended up with the dreaded orange peel effect. I used to use Zero's 2 pack primer which is great if your only building cars as it has a shelf life and goes off quick once opened. What I tend to do these days is spray with a good acrylic primer first and after its cured some wet n dry treatment before the paint goes on. Word is with the new LP paints you dont need to prime and I have done it once with a kit - LP white as a primer then a Zero brilliant white on top with a 2 pack gloss coat to finish without any problems or perhaps I was just lucky.

I never have problems with zeros non metallic paints. And now first time with metallic paint. Its too damn hot, and thats is the problem. The metal flakes collect an electrical charge which causes them to accumulate in each other and ruin everything. The hotter the paint, the greater risk of electric charge. Like i said first time for me, and same thing for mrp metallic paint. Grazing is risk for metallic laquers for this reason. When it happens it happens and you cant do anything for it.

The build starts with the floor pan and cockpit both were cleaned up and any etch and parts added both were then sprayed with LP semi gloss black. Once dry the carbon decals started to go on. The outer floor pan is done more decals to go on in the engine bay and on the cockpit.

All the carbon decals are now on in the cockpit and engine bay. The cockpit assembly was then finished and added to the floor pan along with the front radiator. The engine was assembled and then Sprayed up with a load of other parts ready for fitting tomorrow.

The lower chassis finished . After the engine was finished it was sprayed with Alclad Airframe ali and then dirtyied up a little with some black panel wash the front rad also got the panel wash treatment too. The top box holding the Vortex cones was given a coat of airframe ali and the vortex's themselves were sprayed with Molatow chrome Once the engine was glued in place along with the stiffening bars the rear suspension and hubs were added. Last to go on at the rear was the exhausts. The front hubs came next all going together in the usual Tamiya way.
Next comes the main body. All the mold lines were removed along with any other blemishes and any small parts then added to the body work. Once the final polishing up of the body work was complete the parts were given an undercoat of grey primer. The white will going on tomorrow then its a lot of masking for the purple plague to go on.

Masking day arrived so the main body, side trims and airfoil were masked off ready for the purple peril to go on. A few light coats went on and all was left to dry. The masking was removed and the dash repainted semi gloss black along with some other parts on the body. The decal fest starts tomorrow.

Looks great, excellent masking for that purple. Never had any issues with the Zero paints myself, crazing or otherwise, always applied a decent coat of either Halfords or Tamiya rattle can primer and all has been good..

Great work between the paint and decals, they are spot on. Your build is motivating me to get my same kit out and build it. Keep up your great work!
Can't wait to see the final reveal as this is one of my favorite LM cars.
