Whilst I was in Japan I bought this :
Now I've not built a model of any sort for a very long time, so I had to buy some clippers, paint and brushes. Handily the instructions had a list of colour codes so I knew what paint to get.... except I didn't because I couldn't find them for sale here. I managed to find a site that gave me a conversion chart between a number of different paints ( www.paint4models.com ) and I found equivalents for sale here.
One of the first things I had to do was cut the arches of the model... this (I realise in hind sight) is actually a fairly full on model to start with! I got the arches cut and a first coat of black paint on
Then I set about the under side and wheels
And that is as far as I got before my year went mental and my evenings disappeared. The black paint has bubbled somewhat (I'll give some details once I've unpacked it all again at the weekend).
My current plan is to actually pause this build and start on the simpler Zakspeed Capri Kit I got from Kent Models
