 Sometimes,
it's difficult to paint the black frame of the windshields. I used a
pen and French curve to draw lines long the border and paint the rest with
a brush.

 Tamiya
provided masking tapes in the kit, so I used one to see how it
worked. When using masking tape in general, clear paint is useful to
seal the edge. The paint prevents black paint from flowing into
small gaps.

 This
is a finished interior. I used the airbrush to spray two tones of
gray and semi gloss black. The gauges are represented by a decal
provided in the kit. I scratchbuilt a daisy by trimming a sheet of
plastic and metal rod.

 Painting
of the body is almost done. The picture shows the body with clear
over coat just before sanding and polishing processes are done. |
