Best regards

Very nice!
What do you mean by a "pin wash" ? The dull coat - is that matte clear or what exactly is that and how do you do that? I am interested as I have a similar build (waiting) and would like to replicate a finish like you have done on this very impressive build.
Thanks for posting.
Regards
Richard

I paint the body with the usual Tamiya gloss paint so I can put down the decals then I use Vallejo model wash for dark vehicles, diluted a bit with water then I dip a small paint brush and run it in and around whatever I want to highlight. Any excess I wipe off with a Qtip but you must do that while it still wet. When all is said and done then a final few coats of Tamiya flat clear (TS-80).

Thanks for the detail explanation - that will come in very handy. The finish you achieved looked really authentic and true to the period photos we see of "oil stained" cars.
Regards
Richard

Congratulations, beautiful car.

It looks fantastic, excellent fit and finish gives it great presence and a period feel to it.

A great looking car. I have done one car in a matt finish - a Lancia Ferrari D50. I really like it and think of it as one of my better looking cars - but otherwise I have done a gloss finish aside from a yellow Talbot which has a more satin finish.
I have thought about doing all my vintage GP cars in a matt / dull finish but I look at some cars and I like them with a shiny finish. I just finished a Vanwall and think it wouldn't look as good if it had a matt finish.
What finish did these cars actually have. It is hard to tell from period photos - sometimes matt finish looks right and others not so. Maybe it is a case of variation based on the car.
For example I am not sure a French Blue Talbot would look good with a matt finish but the Belgiam yellow one does.
cheers
