I'd like to get at least that good of a look. How do you do that?

its just chalk. grind it up and smear it on.

alright, thanks.
and I know it may not help much being that i have a toyota, but I have the black stripe like that along the bottom of the Mistress, it's factory judging from other pics i've seen.

Getting work done on this, sprayed the chassis with Model Master Aircraft Interior Black. Oil pan, driveshaft and bell housing paint Model Master Semi-Gloss Black.

Gauges are analog instead of the digital set, Option and Best Motoring decals on the passenger side.

Chassis is about finished, needs the panhard and anti-sway bars on the underside with a bit more for the engine bay.

Strut bar painted Alclad aluminium and Tamiya Met. Blue.

Added full split in the rear seat and between the seat and package tray.

Working on adding the hose from the radiator to the overflow tank.

Hopefully I get a chance to build this up this summer. Not sure how much scratchbuilding I want to get into, but its going to take a lot of mods to make it look good. I need to find some wheels that will look good for 1/20th scale.

alright, i can call this one done. although the 510 was first started now over 10 years ago, it has given be a bunch of headaches. so this is why the 280ZX came into play while working on the dime.

SHAKOTAN 280ZX
kit: USAIRFIX curbside, motorized chassis hell
mods: just about everything. bucket seats, rear strut bar, harness bar, flocking, aoshima SSR MKII wheels, resin front mount intercooler(modded as well) lots of work to get it this way.

Def. the MK.IIIs.
