Cheers Scott... I must say that I did'nt have much airbrush experience until I started this but it's certainly keeping me busy lol

Also to mention that the Bridgstone and Schuco parts are the originals and un-touched as yet.

More Chrome added to the exhaust system.. removed all original paint and filed back then coated with matt black and then clear coat.. finaly t-cut to buff then Aclad2... Pretty happy with the result plus getting better at taking shots of reflective paint with the camera too BigGrin
