I hope it's fun, too!

I painted the 850 Turbo Estate this afternoon with Tamiya TS-86 Pure Red.  When this has dried sufficiently, I'll clearcoat it with Tamiya Pearl Clear.

Cool - had a buddy that had a 750 turbo wagon.  White with black trim.  Awesome looking car.  This should be fun.

Thanks,

John

My new project is the Volvo 850 Turbo Estate also know as a station wagon.  Volvo engineers created this as a racecar for the British Touring Car Championship and they were very successful with it.  Here's a video of the car at Goodwood Festival of Speed several years ago.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ8c8a8oEUs  

My plan is to build this as a everyday hauler in red with a pearl clearcoat with a black interior.  Right now, I don't plan on adding anything extra to this build.
