2nd layer of Gloss Clear has been sprayed on. Not enough according to sifus. Will do one more gloss clear coat for the body on Monday.










Roof top yellow lining sprayed


due to white background, the yellow lining turned out to be too bright a shade, so difference is too big, mismatch with body color, so decided to spray it with another layer of white while the lining will be wrapped with BMF as a custom unique touch compared to other minis

Thats all for today thx

Hand itchy while waiting for the clear coats to dry so open new kit Subaru BRZ and dry fit the body lo................... with Arnab Roket Kit Badan TransKit :rolleyes:











Just for fun only, not going to do this kit next as my level and the level of doing transkit is like from here to Pluto.

After dry fit the BRZ, Dismantle everything and it goes back into hibernation. So I decided to experiment on Polishing/Compounding with Tamiya Coarse, Fine and Finish.


Wetsand with 3M Microfine Sanding Sponge. Really blurs up the whole rear windscreen until almost zero visibility


Compound with Tamiya Coarse. Visibility improved tremendously.


Next with Tamiya Fine. Getting clearer.


Finally Tamiya Finish. Not quite. I found out polishing just one time will not do the job.


Repeat Coarse, Fine and Finish for another 2 times and this is the result. Maybe one more time will make it crystal clear!

Seeing from dull blurry slowly become crystal clear is a satisfying feeling like Phoon said...Nice!

chrome lining using BMF



Finally done after about a month. Not perfect but satisfactory for me as its my 1st kit, thx for the tips and advices from everyone!

Head to Gallery for finished pics peeps!

Woo, i really love the comparisons and before-after effect of compounding on the transparent part!!! Really nice to watch!

Yeah guys, the fun about compounding is definitely that: having a visible difference every steps!!!
