MOPARmaniac Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hey guys, I got this car for my birthday. I'm not a big fan of newer sports cars, but I got the car for free, so I can't complain. It is skill level 5 and has 120+ pieces so it will be difficult and fun for me. This is my first model car of skill level 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOPARmaniac Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Got most of the block together... Must warn you guys that this kit is fun and detailed, but none of the parts really want to fit together. I have to tinker with every single part on this kit to get it together.

BVC500 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Yeah, I just assembled my engine and the part fit was fiddly. Â Good luck on the rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOPARmaniac Posted April 22, 2017 Author Share Posted April 22, 2017 Started working on some rear suspension parts, didn't have the color steel so i mixed my own color of steel by mixing testors gloss grey and testors metallica silver together. It came out perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xingu Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 You may be too close when you are taking the photos, they are all a bit out of focus. Step back a bit to get a good focused shot. You can use a photo editing program to crop/resize the photo to get the zoomed in effect.Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out.

I will try your advice though to see if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
