Painting the Chassis

Airbrushed the foundation blue. Next, airbrushed the Sea side blue (metallic

Shaved thinly the thickness of the muffler cutter. And airbrushed the ALCLAD II lacquer color 107 Chrome to them.
Suspension systems and muffler were put to the Chassis.
Wheels
The wheel of this model is the WedsSport SA-70 18inch Blue light chrome.
However, the wheel of the kit is normal chrome plating. I modelled this parts on real wheel as possible.

Masked the wheels except the outer rim.

.Peel a masking tape from the wheels.

Airbrushed the clear blue.

I replicated the logos "WedsSport" and "SA-70".
