I got this kit from a friend at an build weekend some time ago.

Then last sunday I was at a build meeting with a few other friends. Just a few hours of building and no means to airbrush. So I had to build what I could without painting.

This is the first time I’m building a Roden kit. The first thing that I built was the frame and then the engine and a few other parts. I think it was a bit of unneccessary breakdown of the frame which made it very wobbly and a bit warped.

I finished assembling the engine. Soon time to paint before further assembly.

This is a continuation from the build meeting post!

I applied primer on the body, chassie and a few other parts.

Suspension and exhaust system was painted with Kaleido Stainless steel. The instrument panel was coated with semi gloss varnish and a few other parts was painted as well.

The interior was assembled and the intrument panel put in place.

The exhaust pipes turned out looking real nice! And the steering wheel was painted black and got chrome spokes.

The radiator wall and the bottom side of the chassie was painted yellow.

Then I masked and painted parts of the chassie black.

I had to correct som spots by hand later. Quite happy with the look!
