Mario's Dan Hanna Auto Wash Lola - Completed
I have been wanting to finish off a glue blomb from many years ago.
I think i was about 15 when this was started and i was not happy with the white that had been sprayed. So this is how it looked after a caustic soda bath. I was originally going to do it as the Amoco 1988 car but decided to go with the Dan Hanna car wash version from 87.
After a good clean i then sprayed with Tamiya primer which made the whole thing look nice and neat again.
And this is how it is now with the Tamiya Italian red TS8 followed by decals done by Michael from Indycals.

Re: Mario's Dan Hanna Auto Wash Lola
I managed to get some 2K onto the body etc, i think mine may be going off a little as it took a week to fully harden. I will mask off now and do the underside and then paint the radiators etc and we are basically then done.

Re: Mario's Dan Hanna Auto Wash Lola
With the holidays still going for me I have been able to turn my attention to another unfinished model. This one got shelved due to my 2K hardener had gone off and I was finding things stayed sticky for quite awhile. So after having about 3 months curing time I have been able to get back to this and it is now almost finished.
