Thank you! The photos are hiding most of the small scratches fortunately xD I definitely should invest on some powertools for polishing, those large surfaces took a lot of elbow grease!

Thank you! VWs get so often painted in vintage pastel colors but I have seen some really nice "pimp my ride" style customs, tried to capture that vibe!

4 layers of Gaia Notes EX-Clear (~2h flash time). Some orange peel & decal bumps, but wet-sanding after a 2-3 week cure will level it all. EXクリアを2時間間隔で4層コート。少しゆず肌や段差がありますが、2〜3週間乾燥後のサンディングで平滑化します。焦らず熟成。 #ScaleModel #Hasegawa #Plamo #VWType2 #プラモデル #CandyPaint

Gold pops up nicely! Recommend looking into liquid masking solutions if you haven't already! ;)

N.Craftworks | 模型 @ncraftworks.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Yes, that's what is usually called sprue goo! You need to cut down runners into small bits to increase the surface area and leave them in a small container with some Tamiya cement. That will work but a little fiddly, it will be rather liquid as opposed to epoxy putty which is more like playdough
010
N.Craftworks | 模型 @ncraftworks.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Ouch. If it does not align, that means there is missing material. You'll need some putty/filler to add that missing plastic volume. Epoxy putty would be my go-to in this case. They even sell white ones if you don't want to paint afterwards.

Thanks! I see this kit done in vintage colors or weathered so often that I really wanted to try a modern "Pimp My Ride" custom style for this one. Glad you like the combo! Masking was a little troublesome but worth it ^^

Masked & sprayed the gloss black top. Cut tape to ~0.6mm to trace the front curve. Used less thinner to prevent bleed. Some orange peel, but clears will level it. ツートン上部の黒を塗装。Rに沿わせるためテープを約0.6mmに細切り、滲み防止でシンナー少なめ。少しゆず肌ですが、後のクリアで平滑化するので問題なし。 #ScaleModel #Hasegawa #Plamo #VWType2 #プラモデル #CandyPaint

Yes, that yellowing is also characteristic of old waterslide decals. You can try to leave them in the sun for a few weeks to try to remove the yellowing but beware, old decals tend to disintegrate when put in water!

You don't need expensive stuff for weathering! Some sponges and enamels paints for chipping, artist oils for washes and streaks,... Those can go a long way!
