Macio,
That's a quite tidy build - nice finish on the paintwork.
The only thing I'd do to it is throw a little black paint into the exhaust opening.
Otherwise, looks just great to me.

Cheers, LeeTree

Not exactly whole undercarriage :) Anyways - masking was quite tricky

Great looking build. Having just got back to the hobby and buying only Tamiya acrylics, I've been looking for a good example of a glossy acrylic finish. Now I've seen one. Smile [:)]

I would not have guessed from that photo that the undercarriage was molded as one piece.

Honda SMX Lowdown 1/24 finished...

Hi,

Just finished another Honda... This time it is SMX Lowdown in passion orange color.
This Tamiya kit is very good in terms of mold quality. The only issue during build is masking undercarriage as it is molded as one part (exhaust, spare tire etc).
I used tamiya acrylic paints exclusively and the body is varnished with clear X-22.
Details added: Photo etched Honda symbol on the steering wheel and front.
