I've gotten a little more done on this bad boy lately. The cowl hood is almost done, spoiler is complete, as are front and rear push bumpers, rollcage, and some other smaller stuff.
Continued work will include a couple lights on the front bumper, a larger capacity fuel tank added under the hatch, side steps, some interior stuff etc. Then it will all come apart for paint!

Hi Ramfett. I just bought an Autoart 1/43 scale interceptor. I'm guessing the paint type used on the 1/18 is the same as the 1/43... is it enamel?
Could you suggest a type of paint to use for the weathering? I was thinking of using acrylics but am not sure if it will stick to an enamel finish. Thanks man!
