Revell 1:24 scale model

I haven't built a scale model car (or plane) in at least 30 years.

Time for some fun.
And now I begin.

I own no garage queens. If it's in my driveway, it's been ridden hard and put away wet. ...and now, with a light crust of Maine road salt.

Louv. Looking forward to seeing its completion. Although I spot a large silver spray can in the background of the photo, I hope the model will sport the brilliant colors of sophisto grey with the blue accent for its body panels. Happy new year by the way!

I have the 1:18 model, as well.
I kinda wish this 1:24 was actually a 1:12. :-)

The large silver can is primer.

I was going to follow the painting instructions... Sophisto Gray /w blue. My car is Gray/Gray. But. Maybe... I might do something entirely different. Not sure yet.

I'll be reproducing my Tera interior. (which is not how the model wants you to go, their plan is the much easier All-Beige.)
