Nice job dude!

I read that you are from spain..so, do you speak spanish..don't you?

Soy de Panama, ese trabajo esta quedando muy bueno. Mi pregunta es, las calcas de fibra y el photoedge lo conseguiste en españa? o a traves de alguna tienda por la web. Los lugares donde compro modelos en linea no tienen el juego de photoedge y yo tengo ese auto, aun no lo empiezo.

Me comentas

saludos

carlos

Wow, seriously nice work there. Bow [bow]

I built that kit OOB. I was seriously disappointed with the kit decals. For Tamiya, they really didn't look all that good. I used the Humbrol purple for the paint work. It matches the decals perfectly. Can't wait to see yours done!

Yes thanks Coldfire those 2 sites have a lot of good material and also some great links to otherwalkaround sites. I've bookmarked one for the Wolf I started some time ago.

Sorry, I'm from Spain, I've a nice level of english but I don't understand you completely. Do you mean you want reference material for this car?

There are two good walk arounds here:

Rapidly running out of thumbs (all ten of mine...) to put up! Assembled it looks even better. Keep us posted.

Well, at the moment nearly everything is in its place, except for the bodywork and wheels.

Hello, the dashboard is right out of the box.

I painted it in midnight blue from gunze sangyo (gloss)
Painted the buttons and details with vallejo acrylics and a good fine brush.
Clocks decals from kit, some microsol in them.
Some washes with black from humbrol and a lot of thinner.
Marabu matt varnish.
And some small drops of Future inside the clocks.

Regards

Great job man! Wow!! [wow]

I hope (when I eventually get to mine) mine comes out half as good! Will be using the SMS PE set.

How stock is the dash? Looks very impressive... Is that as it is in the kit or did you put in some extras? Engin looks brill, very good colour on the block. And a scarily good CF job! Thumbs Up [tup]
