This model was bought and built with the intention of being a Christmas gift for a close friend, but ended up also giving me the gift of adventure with my first in-depth model car project. Spolied by the simple ‘sandwich’ style, precolored car models of my youth, this intricate love-labour of paint, cement, paint, gloss, and more paint, took the better part of a month to complete, with many setbacks and revisions along the way. The body was painted with Krylon and Testors rattlecan sprays, and the more intricate details I brushpainted on by hand using Tamiya acrylics. All in all, a very fun project, and I’d love to attempt more model cars in the future with better equipment and conditions.
