Honda RA272... this could all go horribly wrong..

I started this kit two years ago and put it away when I attempted to spray the Tamiya specified white paint.
Unfortunately it only comes in rattle cans, and I had nothing but trouble with it.

Yours came out absolutely great! I will have to pull mine out again and regroup. Thanks!

It wasn't great to be honest.,had very little body to it. Took few coats and rubbing back with 2000 grit paper in between.
To be honest you could use any ivory white.

Right done. 10hrs 30minutes.

I'm pleased with it , very enjoyable.
I've decided to leave off the engine cowling. Spent hours on the motor so not hiding it!

The more perceptive of you may have noticed a slight issue however. Can you tell what it is?

I always liked the older indy and f1 cars so simple and raw no fancy ground affects. Looking hard at the pics i see a fiber in the paint were the suspension comes out of the body on the left side and what looks like some small bubbles in the no 11 decal up front, but thats life in the model building world. Paint is one of the last things i stress over on my builds, you have a 90/10 chance not usually in your favor of one coming out perfect so yup stand back 2 ft and enjoy.

Thanks everyone. Yeah it isn't perfect but I learned years ago to accept, "good enough".
I build for me. So thanks very much everyone.
