Hey! For the clear coat, I use 3 or 4 layers, usually after the second layer I sand the varnish to have a better shine on the body. I sand the plastic kit so that the primer can stick to the plastic and sand the primer to smooth the surface and get a better grip for the paint on the primer. (before doing so the paint came off when masking the window frame for example). Hope that helps :)
Looks awesome man. I am surprised by the full tub interior on this one but I guess this is a pretty old release from Tamiya. Turned out great in that colour.
Nice build 👍
Thank you!
Is a nice kit to build! :)
Did you sand the body to remove the original clear coat? Was that so the brown paint sticks?

Also, I like the color :)
Yep, the interior is like a snap kit, an old release from Tamiya.
It’s developed from the slant nose snap kit that tamiya offered way back. Either way, it looks amazing for the parts count.
