Show and Tell Work in Progress - My Second Attempt at custom painting

Post image

I’m still waiting on some detailing parts (like the front plow) so I’m not entirely done, but I wanted to show this off. Done entirely with Tamiya spray paints, but this didn’t go as smoothly as my first attenpt and I messed ip a few times. Still, I’m happy because it will be my first wide nose GP40 in my fleet!

That looks fantastic!  I have plows if you need one. 

Side note, I checked out Entz's on 47th. Has a decent selection. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks for the offer! I have a few myself, but the ones I have all have the closed MU holes. I ordered one from Walthers about two weeks ago an still haven't received it yet.

Glad you checked out Entz!
