Hasegawa 1/24 Team Tom's Minolta Toyota 88C Le Mans C1 race car

Post by barryf1fan »

Got'er done today! :banana:

Lot-0-mistakes, so don't look too close. :lol:
Fun, easy kit that I, of course, struggled with. In the end though, came out about to my skill level.

All done with Tamiya Acrylics, and through the Iwata Eclipse AB. Clear is Tamiya Semi-Gloss.
Used the white with a drop or two of gray as it called for off-white, which I didn't have.
Pleased with it though, and this one is going to my oldest son, as the last two have went to my youngest.

And yes, all of it was done with Tamiya Acrylics... that's all I have. :lol:
The white was shot over the Tamiya Gray fine surface primer. :thumb2:

Very nice result and using Tamiya acrylics which is unusual to see these days. Just goes to show you don't need these fancy 2 pack paints to get a very nice looking display piece.

I may have to try that someday. I sure like they way they spray out of my airbrush on everything else.
