In to white surfacer for a clean colour lay down as the colour I decided on is fire orange and is quite transparent also helps with colour light change effect and coverage

Custom heat sheild I made up as an afterthought as one of the carbies were spitting fuel Strait onto the extractors while I was tuning them
They are also known to do the same at lights when they get hot and are prone to heatsoak

You also may have noticed I've put the body into an orange base that I will sand before painting when it warms up a bit ...
