Stroh's Lite 1989 Thunderbird

So I managed to finally get my hands on the decal sheet to do this car, it would almost be one of my Holy Grail cars and so I am slowly working on it. Paint is Tamiya TS-15 for the body, the inside is AS-20 Insignia white. I filled the front air intake on the left light, along with blending the nose clip and rwar clip with the main body section.
I have had a few issues with dust, orange peel etc and then I rubbed it back and got a good covering of 2K and so far I am happy with it all.
It is nice to make progress with a model and I have now decaled this beast. The decals are by Race Scale and went down really well, I used a little Micro Sol & Set to help here and there but for their age they were fantastic. I have washed the body with some warm water and detergent and then polished with a soft dry cloth, I think I might leave it like this rather than a gloss topcoat. I will get to doing a chassis for this one soon, I want to keep painting some bodies while we have gorgeous weather here…

WOW looking good so far.

Nice job.
Is that a little chip on the inside of the wheel arch in the last pic?

It might be Fred, i will have a look but nothing i cannot cover up. Cameras show everything.

Nice job on the paint mate, even better job getting the wrinkles out of Mark Martin.

Too right!

Anything with Mark Martin on it has to be good...and you are doing it justice. Look forward to seeing it complete.
