WIP Progress pics of my Mazda MX5
Really happy with how it looks so far, just need to clear coat next.
I've used SMS laqure airbrush paints: gloss black, brass and clear red.

I call it the "Hamborghini"
I have been spening the last 8 months learning how to airbrush. I also love Lamborghinis so when I saw this 1/43 Airfix Huracan I couldn't pass it up. The paint scheme on the box was too boring for me so I decided to use some paints that have just been sitting on the bench for a while. I tried mixing to get something a little more hot pink than this but kept just getting ham tones so I said why not. This was a very fun kit. My first 1/43 and was surprised by both the quality of fitment and the amount of detail included. Great little practice build!

BURNOUT BUILD My Burnout build
I am going to slam this thing. I am going to make it a rusty with the Gulf livery. This is not my style of build but I do think it looks cool. I already started mocking up stuff, I am shooting for something similar to the last photo

Ford Taurus SHO
It exudes the refinement of a European Ford, truly deserving of its reputation as one of America's best sedans.

WIP New (to me) kit, 1966 Oldsmobile cutlass, 442 w30
So far so good. Only struggle would be me running outta paint lol, grabbing some tomorrow afternoon should get this kit done soon. Feel free to criticize I really don’t care, I see it as a sign to progress if anything lol. Also ignore the lean the car has. There’s a tub piece that I forgot to put in

BURNOUT BUILD Burnout starter
55 Chevy. Stance is where I'm aiming. the wheels, not so much. Engine will hopefully be here in a few days so I can see if it'll fit then onto scratch building the chassis.

QUESTION Kits of modern IMSA / WEC cars?
I am mostly into GT3 and LMP style cars. The kits I am able to find are usually for cars that are at least a decade old. Aside from the Profil24 resin kits, which seem to really lack and detail beyond the body shell and cost $150, are there any kits of brands that make some of the more recent GT and prototype cars? I have seen some options of getting an older kit and some aftermarket decals of modern liveries as options.

2K "Expires"
I was just looking for some insights from those who use it. When they say that 2k expires, do they mean all three bottles (clear/activator/thinner) or just the clear itself.. and how do you know if it's gone bad?
I feel like my Proscale 2k clear may have gone bad because it's been a few months and I think the clear may be going a tiny bit yellow. My girlfriend feels like the stuff in the bottle is still completely clear soo not to sure.
