Scott, it looks great! [Y] I have very same kit from Tamiya but it is an upgraded set I brought last year. It is on top of my list to build within a year… I need a break from those indy tracks.
Hey, TD4438. Yeah, it the kit with the photo-etched screens and they were a PAIN. So much so I had to rob a second pair from another of the same kit that was given to me by my uncle.
I actually, tried a few swipes with a graphite #2 pencil but stopped because I didn’t like the way it looked. Oh, well live learn and model on. LOL.
I think the subtle weathering came out good.Ny only thoughts would be bang the jerry cans up,even use one of a different color to break it up a bit,and some black soot near the mufflers.But a fine looking job.
Just did this kit, stilling working on touching up my first attempt at a dio to go along with it. I thought this was a really fun kit, and the motorcycle/figure and the fuel drums were a nice little bonus too (perfect for me since I wanted an easy dio to start). I didn’t really have that much of a problem with the screens which leads me to believe I got lucky… and now I’m scared of PE again, way to go.
I’ll try to get some pictures of mine once I dirty up a few things. I’ll be using this one as inspiration, looking at mine now it seems a little too clean. I also tried salt masking, PG underneath with Afrika Mustard on top, didn’t like most of the results but a little chipping and sanding later I was able to get some subtle accents on the edges.
