Continuing work on the RX-7 in half scale. For the base coat, I’ve used Model Master Gray Sandable Lacquer Primer Spray (yeah, that’s a mouthful). :D
I then wet-sanded using the Micro-Mesh Sanding Sheets in 4000, 6000, 8000 and 12,000 to get as smooth a surface as possible (as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases).
The better the primed surface, the better the top coat. You can see the sheen in the reflection.
My makeshift holder is made from scraps of builders foam.
My new tattoo. Looks like I need a longer glove when spray painting. :D
The paint is 95% perfect, which is about the best you can hope for most of the time. Woot! Once it has set, I’ll see if I want to attempt to buff out the few dust particles that invariably get caught in the finish. Sometimes messing with it makes it worse. So far, so good, though. :] The side skirts and new wing look pretty seamless now, which is what I had hoped.
