MG Metro 6R4 (Belkits)

Gotcha. As per the Accurate Miniature kits then.

Great weathering.

So the chassis looks a bit nice and old-ish, yet the skid plates are brand spanking new.

What's the story Dave?

I like the way it's coming along.

In the next updates - with the chassis being well splattered from a forest stage - is the exterior going to be treated similarly ?
......can’t wait to see what comes next.

Easy there, It's not finished yet. I 'm reluctant to muck it because it took ages to get it right.

Not too dirty topside but we'll see.

Well, they could be new replacements to be fair.

Carbon fibre decal? My eyes are a bit old Dave boy.

Kevlar twist pattern decals. Awkward because of curves and ninety degree corners. Thankfully they are of a good quality, not like that bloody McLaren.

Even Microsol with a tiny brush wouldn't make that easy. Nice result.

Got a closer pic?

I don't have any problems with decals, but that looks difficult lining up the weave pattern over the mini wings in the second pic.

I think I would have chickened out and sprayed them aluminium !

You can get carbon fibre rattle cans now Ron

I can be gullible at times - but are they like the cans that spray two different colours at the same time so you don’t have to mask off when painting camouflage and tunnels ?
As recommended by a Mr. Wile E Coyote ?

Tarten paint is out soon Ron

The tunnel trick needs lots of paint Ron....

Motoring on with some really tiny details.

Superb ! ....looks spot on.
I know a lot of people would miss the odd detail, but there is a certain satisfaction in knowing you’ve got it nailed !

Keep going Dave.

I love looking at builds when so much detail is there it keeps you going back because you noticed you missed something. Too bad a lot of it will get covered up when the body is installed, but as they say, "you know it's there".

Easy! The grass between the wheel tracks in the forest stage has cleaned all the gunk from the skid plates.

I knew the Aussie Contingent would supply a sensible answer mate!
