1/24 scale FD3S

[rextreme]

Yep Busy.

The 1:18 cars are metal so there is a combination of filing / hacksaw and grinding dremmel work,
Then out comes the "Plasti-bond Builder" (like body filler) but easily sandable.
Just custom carved and moulded from reference pics and my eye.

The greddy 9 replica is turning out to be a bit more difficult building the front than I expected. But its coming along.

Sometimes I dont touch them for a month. then its just hour after hour
Not having a real FD at the moment is frustrating though.

Just got a couple of kits off ebay - what\'s the best way to paint the bodyshells?

I guess aerosols would melt the plastic.

It depends, I used to paint plastic models and enamels in aerosols are fine! Enamel and acrylic paints should be fine.
