One more thing I do especially when using metallic paint is to leave the window masks on and back spray the inside with silver it cleans up the inside and makes the blue less transparent. Also spray the inside of the fenders black as you can see them when you are runnin er!!!! It's the third time I've watched but as all your videos they are very helpful! Ralphie

Yeah I always have for some reason. It's like I'm leaving a signature on the box, or something. Funny story, I bought a very well used Wild Dagger a couple years ago, the inside of the box lid was covered in paint, just as I do. It was pretty cool, hit home, made the kit feel more special to me. 🤣

When cutting the body take and study the manual and the body and figure out the proper cut lines then take a fine sharpie to the outside of the body and draw out your cut lines! Black is the ideal color. Ralphie

Good video Phil - not been brave enough to try the scoring method myself yet, but that'll come! It sure looks effective. Worth mentioning that I recently did a Tamiya Subaru Impreza rally (the '99 one) and that of course is in PS16 too - it is a colour that looks pretty transparent, even after what seems like enough coats, but when its backed with another colour (I went with a silver to bring the metallic look forward) that doesn't matter and it looks great. Stay excellent, my friend!

Yes to doing the black lines around the Windows, I think that would make it really pop.. I am still waiting on my TD4 to turn up so it was good to see how you have done the body and what's involved as it not something I really like doing.. For that paint bleed I have found using a q tip from Tamiya that is molded and has a good point on the end really helps with the clean up. The body is looking really good 👍

If I have paint bleed-thru on another part of the body that I plan on painting, I'll use 800 grit to sand off the bleed-thru paint. Just go gentle with it, don't push too hard and you'll be fine. Tamiya paints will fill the 800 grit scratches and you'll never see them. Hope that helps! 👊
