Trimming and categorized by color.

This kit has several shrunken molds.

December 3, 2023
The cover is designed to open and close, but it does not close properly, so after attaching tape to secure it...
5
December 3, 2023
Put it in the dish dryer for a day, it will be properly fixed like this.

December 3, 2023
It was time to paint black, so I masked off the windshield to paint it as well.
7
December 3, 2023
Black surfacer.
8
December 3, 2023
then, painted body colors.

December 3, 2023
and then, The spokes of the wheel were lightly masked and the rim was painted chrome.
10
December 3, 2023
I belatedly screwed a deep hole in the muffler.
11
December 3, 2023
Now I painted the remaining secondary colors.
12
December 3, 2023
1st. clear coat was applied.
13
December 3, 2023
When applying a clear coat over a metallic color, you must be careful not to paint too richly.
14
December 3, 2023
If you zoom in like this, you can easily see the difference between the two.
L: heavily coated, R: lightly coated
PS: As the metallic particles become rougher, the color changes slightly.
Therefore, as shown on the right, it is better to lightly coat it first, dry it until it becomes crispy, and then apply an additional heavy coat.

The gear stick looked a bit clunky, so I cut it off and modified it by transplanting a clothes-pin.
16
December 3, 2023
This is how dangerous the hobby of models is. 😉
17
December 3, 2023
The manual says to paint it clear red, but when I looked up pictures of the actual car, it seemed like the transparency was slightly different.
So, first I painted clear red and then partially masked it...
18
December 3, 2023
I lightly covered the white color from the inside.
19
December 3, 2023
I shaved off the original mold to apply the 3D decals that were recently released for this kit.
20
December 3, 2023
I thought a lot about what color to paint the interior.
I chose a yellow interior for the silver car and a red interior for the black car.
21
December 3, 2023
I took another shot during the day and corrected the colors to match what the eye sees in real life.
I think I got the colors just right. 🙂
22
December 12, 2023
Painted with brush.
23
December 12, 2023
Cleaned up the surface for glossy.
24
December 12, 2023
I got greedy and the paint came off.
25
December 12, 2023
Anyway, polishing done.
26
December 12, 2023
I swapped them for fun.
27
December 12, 2023
This is the last masking.
28
December 12, 2023
I painted a black surfacer instead of matte black.
29
December 12, 2023
It looks like it was masked incorrectly.
30
December 12, 2023
Repaired.
31
December 12, 2023
Ready to assemble.
32
December 12, 2023
Applied Quinta Studio - 3D decal.
The quality is very good, but given the price, I think it would be more efficient to use it on a car with an open roof.
33
December 12, 2023
There's nothing special about the assembly, just follow the instructions.
34
December 12, 2023
The brake discs are not chrome paint, but a regular metallic paint called IPP's Metallic Silver.
If you can get your hands on this inexpensive, quality paint, I highly recommend it.
35
December 12, 2023
I was surprised at how well the parts fit together, unlike some of the older level products.
36
December 12, 2023
Originally, I thought the Rebel kit was fun to assemble the internal parts, but I was very satisfied with the improved fitting. 🙂
37
December 12, 2023
Next I need to assemble the cabin, so I pre-assembled these first.
38
December 12, 2023
Since the seats are shaped differently on the left and right, you will need to attach them to fit the driver/passenger seat.
39
December 12, 2023
Assembled interior.
40
December 12, 2023
I decided to place the colors like this
41
December 12, 2023
I used Hasegawa Mirror Sheet and Morotow Liquid Chrome.
I recommend AK Chrome, which is a quarter of the price of Morotow.
42
December 12, 2023
Assembled front/rear lamps.
43
December 12, 2023
Afterwards, the remaining parts were simply assembled according to the instructions, and finally, metal stickers and a three-dimensional emblem were attached.
44
December 12, 2023
Done.
45
December 12, 2023
Thanks for watching 🙂

December 15, 2023
Oh, This point was roughly done with a marker pen. 😉

Sir, may I ask how the fit is? I have this kit on deck and am a little concerned because of the manufacturer.

I think, it's not as perfect as the lately Japanese kits and fits similarly to NuNu and Belkits.
But the rear cowl will need to be modified anyway. (#4, #5 images)

This both kits are the new Revell kit? It's kind of funny that you grabbed two different colors of styrene. In Germany they all are silver. Sadly, I see the sinkholes on the c-pillar too.
What surface and chrome did you take? The chrome looks great. Your color choice is nice. I'm interessted how (I think) the silverish looks with this red interior and the black one with the yellow. I think this will be the combination you're aiming to.
From our experience, the kit fits pretty good.

Thanks Jv.
@Christan W: Yes, this is a new kit. I was planning on making just one, but I received a small box as a gift, so I ended up making two at the same time.
Other than the fact that there are many sinkholes in the body and the engine room cover does not fit properly, so it needs to be fixed, this kit is recommended because of the excellent details, proportions, and good fitting between parts.
The wheels were painted Gaianotes-Black Surfacer > GSI-Ueno Black > More Modeling - MOMO CHROME (shining).
