RandyB. Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Just finished this Boss this afternoon. Good kit but I did encounter a few fit issues with this kit especially with the front end. A little trimming of unseen plastic fixed the problem. Finished in factory color "School Bus Yellow". Thanks for checking her out. Edited July 7, 2014 by RandyB.

Harry P. Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 You kind of went overboard on the panel lines where the front and rear fascia meet the body panels. On the real car those seams are very tight and almost invisible... you shouldn't have made them so black and noticeable. Aside from that, nice work!

Harry the reason the panel lines look black is because of the fit issues I mentioned in my post. That was as tight as I could get them. I already new they should be tighter but you have to work with what the kit gives you. The seams are not painted black....it's just the shadow of the gap making them look that way.

It's really too bad about the panel gaps, they really detract from the appearance of your work. Could you perhaps flow a little body color into the gaps with a fine point brush to soften the harshness? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustangGuy23 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm about to start this kit and even in my mockup I could tell the fascias didn't fit well. Did you have trouble getting the chassis and body to fit also? Mine are a tight squeeze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael...I didn't have too much problem with the chassis fitting into the body but the front and rear fascia was an issue for sure in terms of fit.

Bill Eh? Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 A great build up of this model. Details under the hood look awesome. A few questions if you don't mind ... Do you have any chassis pics? Did you adjust the ride height? How did you do the lettering on the intake plenum? School bus yellow looks great. I think I will try one in Gotta Have It Green.

signmike Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 It's the first I see completed. It looks good in that colour and your building is clean. Congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
