Round2 Sock it to me

Working on this one in between other projects, I find that the clear/orange metallic plastic is somewhat resistant to taking paint.... Even cleaned meticulously, nothing seems to stick well and my usual mek solvent seems to be unable to make a good bond between parts. Testors in the red tube seems to be the only stuff capable of bonding it.

I painted the inside of the body silver, but in truth, all that did was highlight the poor condition of the mold. Some parts have large extrusions that would be quite a pain to remove. Somewhere down the line in twenty or thirty years, it will turn up as a gluebomb and someone will question why a builder painted a supposedly rare clear bodied kit.......

I tried to paint mine in  a color similar to the  molded clear orange car.

 

Its one of my favorites to date . A very simple , and obviously proportionally challenged kit.

But it looks killer in the display case .
