Was gonna add more clear, but I was afraid of the clear eating away at the cured paint since it's been months. LOL.

God I can only wish I could paint gloss that well!
I suck at gloss paints.

My clear coat wasn't the best since I had intended on another wet layer, but with lots of sanding and polishing, I was able to salvage it. I'm sure you can with your skills.

My skills go in the opposite direction I am afraid. I can do flat and dirty but get too impatient with gloss to do a good job.

Same here. I don't think I ever built a model car I was satisfied with, but with some washes and dry brushing I can weather a WWII tank decently. When I was a kid, I used to spend hours browsing the Verlinden Productions magazine at the bookstore.

Got really lazy with this build. I didn't mask off the window trims before brushing on the semi-gloss black paint.

Tint the windows (paint w/smoke/black) and call it a day is usually my interior burnout solution.

Eh, I had already done the seats and bought the harnesses. It's almost what I had in mind, but a little more halfassed. I wanted to do a harness bar, but that's why I said halfassed. LOL

The trick with interiors is to go way overboard with the contrasts and shading. Some dark wash in those seats, door panels and dash will make the detail pop even through the small windows. It will bring out the seams and colour divisions by tricking the eye with simulated shadows. That way things are not so stark and artificial appearing. With interiors I add a wash until I think it is just enough and then add a little more. Looks weird before it is closed up but once inside then it comes together.

When I first got into plastic modeling, I could not figure out why the WWII 1/35 figures I painted looked so different from the figures in the modeling magazines. I didn't know about washes back then, or highlights. I thought that all I needed to do was paint the guy's pants all the same color, just like a real pair of pants fabric. I didn't know that that the illusion of shadows, creases etc were created by various painting techniques. It was very eye opening when I learned that you really do need to 'trick the eye' with miniatures.

Hey, really nice work! I like it. Might I offer a suggestion that might be fun - since it's not a 'perfect' build - how about adding a bit of 'character/wear' like Tcoat does with some of his vehicles? Maybe just some very subtle touches like a reddish brown wash on the front rims for brake dust, a few paint chips or rubber marks behind the wheels from drifting, a bit of wear on the seat edges etc.
