Well here she is. i bought the kit already opened.. all the pieces appear to be there.. as usual the kit directions are in full japanese.. even the color chart.. Do'h
The kit is pretty old, and not the greatest mold either. There are quite a few "mold lines" i think is the correct term (random swirly lines darker then the rest of the body but are smooth) I assume the best way to make sure they are painted over is to just wet sand and primer correct?
another issue injection things left some nasty marks on the inside, and you can sorta see them from the roof so well see how it goes after paint. They are making it difficult for the window piece to fit so there is a small gap.
Also have this irritating junk on the rear.. as well as a small gap.. hopefully I can sand the roof part smooth so the glass can fit a bit better
any tips on what to use to paint the bottom? i want to make it look realistic and not jsut leave it satin black
So far i only really got two things done.. i wet sanded the body and it looks pretty nice. paint should lay nicely. Also cleaned the plastic, but realised im not ready to paint it yet, so i wil wipe it down once more before i paint lol
Before that I also took a look at the door and hood/trunk lines and they were ok, some not as deep as others so i took the scribe tool to them. Cool thing i eralized I could do was clean up the flash around the windows that normally id use a #11 blade or jsut sanding to get off. worked pretty well.
