Mahogany Rush Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Finally finished up this beast. What I thought would be an easy build, it was nothing of the sort. Operator error of course. The model is very nice, but I figured out afterwards that perhaps painting would work better after body is assembled. The windows had to be filed down, the doors would not hang and the top, OMG, it took me literally 5 tries to get it to fit on correctly. Many things need to line up at the very end and superglue became my only answer as lots of tension were on the parts, so Tamiya cement would not suffice. Anyhow, the color is Testors Fiery Orange Lacquer with Rustoleum Gloss White. Wasn't the color I thought it would be, but I do like it. No gloss coat, just one spray of Meguires Finishing Wax. Put some felt in for carpet and tinted the windows with Tamiya Smoke spray. Did all BMF instead of the decals or chrome pen. Used the wrong glue for the headlights and they fogged up. Thanx for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoopdog Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Turned out great, I love it. Sure had a lot of windows to glue and trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 I like it, that color really suits it. I built one of these, don't beat yourself up - it is not an easy kit to get together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Revell, I understand your frustration, but you whipped it into shape, and FINISHED! I have a WIP in a coma, the Hasegawa kit, *had to* cut open the doors. This kit come with a complete engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I feel your pain! Important thing, you finished it! I started a Hasegawa Bus last century, but I went overboard and got overwhelmed. So feel good about doing as well considering the kit. Next project will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Difficult kit to find, as well as build. I've been looking for one of those kits for a while. When I do see one, it's too expensive. You did a good job. It looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
