Tamiya Mazda MX-5 – Step 3

This step was about the rear axle.

Here’s the gallery with 32 images of this step.

Although there were only six sprue pieces, all of them involved multiple paint colors. I also spent a little extra effort sanding off seam lines.

The only hangup was the gloss black I used is Vallejo (not pre-thinned for airbrushing). Perhaps I need to replace it, because it didn’t spray well even with thinning. I ended up hand-brushing with it instead.

This step took about 5 hours.
