Ben, at my age and health, I clean my AB in my paint booth then finish it up on the bench, but I wear my respirator throughout the entire process.

Finally got back around to this one. Had to throw it back in the box awhile ago as it turned out masking and painting certain parts blue didnt work well at all with the original decals! They were half transparent and you could clearly see the change in blue and at that point I was basically stuck as I had to strip the paint again when I'd already applied a few decals and had no replacements. Well luckily about a year or so later SK Decals started making replacements for alot of the old Tamiya JGTC kits and they luckily remade decals for this kit so I snatched them up. Only issue I have now is that quite literally the entire car is a decal!!!! After 5 hours I'm barely halfway through but they are pretty good decals and conform nicely, definitely the toughest decal job I've ever attempted.
Also got the rear subframe assembly completed, the engine, suspension and subframe fit so well I didn't even have to glue any of this together.

Glad to see that she's back on the bench and making some progress once again.
