Colours I used
BODY - Pure White(TS26, THE CODE NUMBER FOR THE PAINT)
This is my very first 1:6 scale model and it's about 403mm in length. And this is also the very same model that I really enjoyed building.Not to mention the scale which it's my very first one that I have ever build so far but also because it is a great test of endurance for me ! Why ? Well, due to it's "extraordinary" size, the model have to be sturdy enough to carry it's weight. Lots of nuts and bolts to work on and don't be surprise if you ended up with the wrong size of screw in the wrong places ! So be really careful and read the instructions very carefully again.
To start off, read the instructions thoroughly before assembly.Now this is a very important point to note otherwise you'll have a lot of problems as you go along the way.Next,DO NOT,I repeat DO NOT detach the parts unnecessarily otherwise being told.I normally like to do the body first course the paint takes time to dry.To make my painting more effective,it is always good to have a base colour to work with.I used a primer which is actually just a white colour surfacer or you can also use a white coloured paint. Spray lightly , it doesn't matter if it looks ugly or unevenly course that is just a base for you to work on.Leave it for a couple of hours to dry under airly space area.Spray the required colour that you want your car to be.I normally have like 3-4 coats of spray Lacquer having each coats with ample time to dry like 6 hours or more.I used modelling wax to give it that finished touch . You can easily get the wax from any modelling shop.
The instructions booklet is very useful course it actually tells you the specific colour that you should used.So follow the instructions very carefully.It is always good too to look up on information about the model.That should give you a clearer picture and a better understanding about the kit.A successful minature model is one that have an identical look to a real one !So the more effort you put in,the better it's going to be ! Applying Decals or simply 'stickers" can be rather tricky.Cut off decal from sheet.Dip the decal in water for about 10 sec and place on a clean cloth.Hold the backing sheet edge and slide decal onto the model . Move decal into position be wetting decal with finger. Press decal gently down with a soft cloth until excess water and air bubbles are gone.
