I started by gluing the front bumper to the body ...

great paint.

Lovely scheme, nice start. In my opinion Tamiya did a fantastic job on this kit especially the way the lights go together, makes it easy to get a really nice finish.

That is a cracking colour, superbly done. Looking forward to following this

Oh I like that version

To avoid silvering, the decals were contoured one by one and applied after a coat of clear gloss ...

Going together very well; super neat and tidy
This Tamiya kit looks as well engineered as the Mercedes AMG GT…and that is a heck of a nice kit

Great work!

It's a really nice kit to build, I might build this scheme too one day.

Interior completed and attached to the chassis ...
