Tamiya Asterion Project

Page 3: Final Photos

Despite the fairly extravagant appearance, painting this was pretty easy.  The gun metal stripe on the sides is straight, and the grille masking is not difficult either.  Everything else is black.  The rear section is sprayed on the outside with flat clear to give it a matte appearance.  Finally, there was a big sheet of chrome decals which are very striking.  The shiny decals contrast with the matte clear though.  Ideally they would have been applied beforehand.  There are also lovely blue letters on the tires, but of course they came off the first time I drove it.  The pictures were taken prior to my upgrades, but the only visible difference with the body on are the blue wheel nuts anyway.
