As best as I can tell, this is a 1985 or 86 760 Turbo. Unfortunately, manufacturers leave the model year of the car out more often than not. The model body was primed with Tamiya white primer and painted with Tamiya TS19 Metallic Blue. As far as I can tell, the fit is fairly good. I plan to clear it with Testors "Wet Look" lacquer. Hopefully I can get it done before Saturday the 28th of next week.
For the chrome trim on this model I am using a combination of BMF and the Moltow Chrome Pen. I would of like to have done the entire chrome job with BMF, but unfortunately the channel in the window posts are a bit too small. I am also going to use Alcad chrome for the radiator grill. Before I painted the model, I had to cement some thin strips of polystyrene to the inside of the front fenders to make up for the gaps in the hood caused by the one piece molded body.
Unfortunately, the engine is molded into part of the engine bay, but there are some additional parts. It will be a bit of a challenge trying to make up with paint for the lack of molded detail.
