Jennifer FranklinThere is nice detailing on the engine; overall, the car is nice, too.

Jan PetersThanks mates.
Although I'm a petrolhead, I've not built many car models before.
My son is a big fan of racing cars in general, and old Japanese cars in particular. He has asked me to build this one for him.

Jan PetersThe pictures are of the real car, I have not yet started with the model 😉

Jennifer Franklinlol, in that case following, you had me super impressed with the car photos I thought were a model build. I though you were that good. Some of the mates on here are that good.

Jan PetersMeanwhile the body has been painted with a Tamiya rattle can.
Some small dust particles have sneaked into the paint, but nothing serious.

yngvenettI'm impressed, so following to see the finished version. Question to @Jan Peters: "Engine bay painted a dirty yellow". Is this some kind of weathering? I'm pretty new and eager to learn

Jan PetersThanks 🙂
Yes, the dirtied up yellow is a pre weathering. I like my models dirty, real race cars are never clean

yngvenettThanks 👍 do you know if there's a video on YouTube or somewhere else I can learn how to do what you did? It looks very realistic

Jan Peters@yngvenett to answer your question: I started out with a black base, misted yellow over this, so it does not cover the black, and went back over it with yellow applied by brush. I will give it a wash of a dark brown later on.

I will wait for the decals to dry before making the final pictures.
