Just started watching this thread. Wow, but lots of head scratchers with ill-fitting parts that needs filling and sanding. Looking good Thomas!!

Two boogies finished with a third one with filler drying...

Primed the engine´s cooler on Tamiya gloss black. No picture needed here, you may have an idea how gloss black looks like, eh? :bored:

I also partially assembled the road wheels and a few minutes ago gave them a wash in 99% iso alcohol to degrease them. A safety measure, and as an experiment for a coat of Vallejo primer later.

Wow! 14 days later...

Spend the time applying a coat of Vallejo´s Panzer Grau (tank grey) primer on the road wheels. Next time I will make use of a brighter colour; took ages to apply at least eight thin coats of AMMO´s Panzergelb (tank yellow). Wheels are drying now. Pictures to follow.

AMMO says their paints would be dry after 24 hours. Well, I have airbrushed the rear engine bay wall in red brown primer about two weeks ago. Makes me unsure because I still can smell the paint on this part... Didn´t have this on Tamiya or Gunze.

7 out of 8 boogies cemented, filled and sanded...

What, your camera is broken ? Oh yeah, a Canon. Never mind.

Some pictures would be nice. Even better would be if they were of this project.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
