Last weekend I started to work on this Honda Today kit. What I thought would be an easy and quick build promies to keep me busy a while longer. It lacks a lot of details in the interior. I hope I can scratchbuild and recreate some of it well enough.
The chrome parts of the police light were damaged when I removed them from the sprue. Seems I have to strip all the chrome from all parts now and apply Vallejo acrylic metals Chrome paint.
I think this is my second car model, will surely be an interesting undertaking.

I drilled holes into the intake on the hood and then cut the rest free. Sadly, I damaged the part a bit more than I intended.
The body was painted in Tamiya Flat White and then carefully sanded niceyl smooth with a 3000 grit sanding sponge. I will apply a few more coats of white and sand it again before I will mask the areas to apply Tamiya Flat Black.
There is a decal for the shape on the hood but I want to airbrush it all. I tried also to scratchbuild a small console and phone/radio between both seats, which is visible in one of the illustrations. It is rather crude, though...
When I removed some of the chrome plated parts they to damaged so I decided to repaint them. I coated them in PU primer, coated them in gloss black and then applied Vallejo Acrylic Metals Chrome on all of them.
