The correct color for the brembos is Burnt Orange. I used a straight orange for the brakes on this build because it was the closest paint I had in my stock.
Thanks for the pos feedback guys.

Get you a can of Easy Off Oven Cleaner. Cover the body in it for 30-60 minutes and strip the paint off.
You will need to start over.

That looks great. I know this sounds lazy but do they do a already made version? If I did one it would look the same as yours but with glue and finger prints all over the paintwork and windows.

This is the only NIMSO Z model on the market that I've seen.

Awesome work man. I used to build models when I was younger and then moved to pewter figures for awhile and this thread gave me the itch to get back into doing models again.

I bought an R32 made by the same company a little while ago, I'm painting it Gunmetal. I was wondering what you used to buff the body with do you just do it by hand, and if so what kind of cloth do you recomend?
