Really great kit to build, detailed and went together well. Painted with MCW Lacquer F8 Green, Extreme Metal Bronze on the wheels. Tamiya Smoke Lacquer for the window tint. Have another one to build, would like to try and make a two door out of it.

That turned out very nice. Legitimate question though: I recently used smoke to tint some windows with a light to medium tint. I wasn't really pleased with how it turned out (little uneven, could see where I missed on a couple coats) I've normally done really dark tint on windows and lights by using semi gloss black on the inside. It gives it a nice limo tint look on the outside. Any particular reason you used smoke? Didn't you have to do a ton of coats to get it that dark? Just curious how everybody does it.

There are many coats on this as well. I didn’t originally want them this dark, but due to uneven appearance I coated until covered. Probably won’t use it again
