Honda Today - You‘re Under Arrest!

Robin (WhiteGlint)
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.

Spent some time masking the car to prepare it for the black paint. Keeping the white spotless clean is quite the hard challenge and I failed. But so far it's still okay.

Welcome aboard Christian!
My masking job was not very well done and I have to fix some areas before I can start with the clear coat.

Who don't know this problem. There is always a spot, where the color found a way somehow 😄
