Tommy124 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Hi there, this model is sort of a collaboration between my German fellow-modeller Ludwig (YBlock292) and myself. I got this model from him a few weeks ago and the original idea was to strip its body off all paint and do it all over again. But the more I looked at it, the more I liked the way it was done. The choice of colors is nice and the interior is well done too. However, the model was done a long time ago and the body paint was not very shiny: So I tried some sanding and polishing and found that the enamel paint that was used back then could be restored to a nice degree. So I gave it 2 more days and a lot of elbow grease to get the following results: For a bit of added realism, I treated the headlights with UV glue, in order to give them a bit more of a glass-like look: On the rear end, I added some exhausts: And some images along with its older '63 brother: Edited June 16, 2020 by Tommy124 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Yes, and it's barely any work! 5 hours ago, charger74 said: Looks very good. Can you please show me the uv glue you used ? Thanks to you too. I used some German stuff at first, it was good but dried in the bottle. So I switched to using cheaper Chinese stuff which has a much better bottle. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-UV-Resin-Ultraviolet-Curing-Solar-Cure-Sunlight-Activated-Craft-Hard-Glue/373059258920?hash=item56dc108a28:g:Qg4AAOSwO7dexO9M Edited June 17, 2020 by Tommy124 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
