Its been awhile since I did a MOTM. I' m gonna build this pretty much out of the box..I may also use the kit decals too. The color that I'm gonna use is Tamiya candy lime green TS-52.I may use some other colors also. So far I have the engine put together and painted. More soon!   |

Well guys,I don't think I'm gonna make the deadline. Yesterday I primed the body parts with PlastiKote primer because I ran out of Tamiya primer. So as you can see PlastiKote primer and Tamiya paint don't work very well together. I know its gonna take a least 4 days to strip the parts..so I think i'm out of this one guys.  |

Looks amazing. The decals really pop against the green and the green makes them really pop too. Great combo!
