Tamiya kit with their in-house 'Detail-Up' etch. Only needed to add the (lets's be honest, downright ugly) combined front air-dam & headlight shroud, then rubbed the whole body with Tamiya 1000 grit sponge to scuff-up the body ready for primer.

Shot a couple of coats of Tamiya Fine straight from the rattle-can with a light rub-down with some 2000 grit wet'n dry between the two coats.

Tamiya Purple as a base-coat for the (pearl) top coats.

Will let this dry & cure until after the weekend at least- we've got a very warm Spring here just now so drying shouldn't be an issue.

Obviously the bodyshell needs it's second (pearl) colour, might get  to apply that tomorrow. PLEASE let me know what you think - over to you.

Interior all done, including self-adhesive pre-cut carpets which come with the Tamiya 'Detail Up' set.

Also finished up the bodyshell. Two thin coats of Tamiya 'Pearl White' over glossy white. Will leave this to dry & cure for a couple of days, whilst that is going-on in the background, I'll start on the rolling chassis.

Couple of photos of the completed chassis before I popped the wheels on - first time using a model-specific 'detail-up' set and it makes a H*LL of a difference. Very, very impressed.

Completed build, but forgot to touch-up the black trim around the windows before I got the camera out !! - all done now :bang head .
