Here's my first attempt at building a car. It's the old Fujimi kit. I had a lot of fun building it and there will be more kits to follow. I airbrushed it with tamiya orange and gun metal, finished with pearl clear from Tamiya. Let me know what you think of it. Dirk

Nice job you did there, Dirk. The 2 tone colour and that particular shade of orange really reminded me of the Japanese cars of that era. Looking forward to seeing more of your collection.
Didn't realise Tamiya has a pearl vanish available. Was it come from a spray can or in a tub? I can use some of those on my Fujimi Honda Integra which has been lying on the shelf for over 3 years now.
