Nearly finished the mighty Avanteeeey
Getting to the finish line on my Avante, but wanted to give all TC-members a sneak preview of the Avante 2011 I have nearly finished. I have used the PS-49 Sky Blue anodized spray, but that seemed to have been a very difficult spray to use. More university level, which I am not quite qualified for... Nevertheless I am reasonably happy with the outcome but the box art PS-16 would have saved me half a sleepless night.
Still have to paint Paranoid Perry and his cockpit, also have to do the right side decals. Since I consider the rear wing to be a failure, I have ordered a new one. Having that done properly will be the icing on my cake. Also the Adspec transmitter and the CPR-100 unit will make this a real beauty. Can't wait to bash the dunes!
After all it has been brilliant building my first new Tamiya ''from a box'', especially such a complicated one as the Avante 4WD. Enjoy guys...

Nice color, what happened to the front end of the body? Looks like cracks in the shell. A terrible sin!

Nice build! The sky blue is darker than i had expected. Did you back it with PS-5 Black?

Dante, I indeed used black to back it (according instructions). Maybe I could try white next time, this will obviously make it lots brighter. And MR2, I indeed have cracks in the front of the body. I have been to brutal with the scissors, but only discovered this AFTER spraying

I now the thing with the anodized spray
It sure is trouble to spray for the first time.
It seems to get dripping al over when spraying to thick.
I think it wil be a very smooth off roader
