Hello all.

First parts primed with Tamiya grey primer and painted with TS-14 straight from the can.

I like the result.

More to come.

Best regards from Portugal.

Hi CBarthololew4677,

Thanks a lot!

Yes, no polishing yet, the parts are drying, later, after decals and clear coat I will do some polishing.

What do you guys think about the Vallejo clear acrilic spray?

Does it damage the Ebbro decals?

Thanks a lot.


Regards.

Hi Kostinha,

Nice paint work, it looks very good so far, I'll following with interest to see more.
No experience with Vallejo, lately I'm using Alclad Agua Gloss and liked very much the result, it's safe and easy to use, no polish is necessary, only buff with a soft cloth.

Abraços

Very good finish on this body panels!
I am not able to get those gloss finished coats with my airbrush skills, so I like to use Vallejo sprays

Used it on 72C decals with Indycals markings and no problems at all.
