Greg Pugh Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I need to apologize because when I saw the first pic with stripes, I said a bad word. Not just any bad word, but one of the really, really, really bad ones. Speaking of bad John, you're the baddest of the bad Dude. That's going to freak out a lot of people. Magnifico I did the same thing!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Teresi Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) HOLY COW!!!!I just started mine.I can not wait to see this at nnl west, I hopeRandy LudiRandy.......thanks,I just airbrushed a new green stripe down the middle of the body to resemble the paint job on the real car ......I`m ready to add the last clear coat....this build should be done this weekend......."CAUTION" beware of the decals......they are the worst I have ever worked with.......they do not slide very easy over a painted surface and mine were very brittle and tore in a lot of places......I did manage to repair a lot of the tears .......my paint job is not perfect......but,good enough for the girls I go with.........take your time and use a little bit of soapy water and a ton of MICRO SOL AND MICRO SET so that the decals don't stick to the paint or they will rip .......the soapy water will help the decals slide easy into place ......and the Micro Sol and Micro Set mixed together will help the decal form around the curved edges........I strongly suggest you you start with a small area so that you dont ruin the decals...... and you should be fine.......thanks Edited November 5, 2015 by John Teresi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Do you ever look at a kit that is so well done, you don't even want to attempt it. Its a rare emotion for me, but this is so beyond my abilities, I see this kit staying sealed.Mercy this is beautiful. Carl Casper would be thrilled.
