Scuderia Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'm at some point in the winter or spring gonna start a project taking the Buick GN kit and making it a little average as far as looks. I want to make the rear area of the roof a vinyl-style top. I found an old thread from two years ago where someone added styrene strips to make the trim, and was curious if anyone had a suggestion on thickness of styrene to use?

mnwildpunk Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 It varies on 1:1 cars. I've seen them as narrow as 1/2" and fairly wide on landau tops like what your trying to do. I wish I could be more help but I'm sure someone will pop up with a better answer. I think you'd be safe using .80mm half round up to a 1.25mm half round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuderia Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Certainly gives me an idea of what to look for thanks Dave. I have a place near me that carries a lot of evergreen so i should be ok once i decide on a type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuderia Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 Back to back posting is kind of tacky, but does anyone know if the Revell Monte hood fits on this GN body at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
