Harry P. Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Nice, but those huge mold seam lines on the sides of the bumpers should have been dealt with. Sanded smooth, then either foiled, or Alclad, or Spaz Stix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Joy Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) Nice, but those huge mold seam lines on the sides of the bumpers should have been dealt with. Sanded smooth, then either foiled, or Alclad, or Spaz Stix.Wow and wow. I never noticed they were seams! I just thought they were meant to be that way, but looking at the finished model now, yeppers, I should have fixed them.This is yet another reason I should take pics and examine them closely before dubbing any model complete. You would be surprised how often I find big goofs that way, even without close examination. Edited May 18, 2016 by Harry Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Very nice. Refresh me guys. Why does everybody hate this kit. The roof looks a little off to me. But, really too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Very nice. Refresh me guys. Why does everybody hate this kit. The roof looks a little off to me. But, really too bad. The side trim has an obvious arc to it as it runs front to back, on the real car that trim is arrow straight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intmd8r Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Looks good to me. Love the colour combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the reason for all the hate of this kit. Okay, it's not right. But, I didn't know that until you pointed it out. I built one ten years ago. I thought it look okay then. I still think it looks okay now. It's not like it's Palmer incorrect. And Mr. Joy's kit looks pretty good to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Very nice clean build. The tutone makes it look like a much more expensive model Mopar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Joy Posted May 18, 2016 Author Share Posted May 18, 2016 Thanks guys.Viewed on the shelf, the trim problem doesn't really stand out. I found this to be one of my most fun builds to date. Even though it looks like any old AMT kit when you open the box, it is really well engineered and it went together really easy. I wish they were all this easy!

gtx6970 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I wonder what it would take to correct the side trim line ? Cut it out of the body , straighten it and re-install it in another body . either way, I like this one a lot . the black and light gold really work very well together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Sand the body sides flush and create new side trim with styrene strip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
