Mr Stock Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Finished this one last night, one of my favourite kits of all time and I've built a few over the years. This is the older promodeler release that has the incorrect seats and other faults. I built it box stock apart from adding a prewired distributor, the paint is Holts rattle can red. Had a bit of fun with the 16 year old decal sheet, they broke up quite a lot, especially the tyre whitelines . I'm happy with the way it turned out and no doubt I'll build another again in the future. Comments and critique welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 In general, very nicely done. But you ran the side stripes right over the door panel lines. Obviously this wouldn't be the case in real life. You should have cut the stripes where they cross the door panel lines and used decal setting solution to get the cut ends to snuggle down into those panel lines. It's not too late to still do that.

Well spotted Harry, I'll correct that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
