My first and so far only Studio 27 kit: it's a decent resin body with metal and photoetched bits, but no engine or chassis detail.
Seen here with the original 1964 TZ (car #57) and 1966 TZ2 (not started), both from Model Factory Hiro.
This was another attempt to get comfortable with the airbrush. All in all the finish requires work due to orange peel, and the fact the airbrush-specific paint goes on matte; and the 2K clear everyone raves about is finicky as it involves a hardener that turns the paint to sludge in about 30 minutes. Plus the cleanup is more involved than with cans. So far the main benefit I can see is the availability of essentially any colour imaginable, unlike rattle cans where you are limited by what's on the shelf at the local hobby or hardware store.
PS I absolutely detest vacuum-formed windows. But the result is usually worth it.
Stay tuned!
