finished this yesterday i think,its just a maisto murcilago thats been in the garage for ages in bits, smashed & chipped etc
just used some leftover azure blue from my scooby


the paint was literally flawless before i did the black door frames & engine cover, where the paint soaked through the paper onto the blue. had to flat the roof down and parts of the doors and clear coat it again, which went a bit strange somehow but it looks alright for what it is
