espo Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Great looking paint and trim. The lighter color looks perfect on this style build. I like the detailing of the parking lights in the grill area as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajohn97 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Wow! Amazing build/paint/ finish. One of the best BMF applications I’ve seen on this forum, particularly the large areas on the lower portions of the body, not a wrinkle in sight. Especially that last photo where the lower areas of the body reflect the pebbles on the ground like a glass mirror! What’s your secret(s) to such perfect BMF?

The foil on the lower body while satisfactory isn't perfect in terms of being completely mirror like. While I wet sanded those areas smooth the foil itself seemed to have a slight orange peel after it was burnished. So the only advice I can offer is to simply have the surface perfectly smooth. There are others here with more experience than myself who could offer you more suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerseeJerry55 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Super nice job. Quick question about the body. While inspecting mine it appears I have two slight sink hole marks on the trunk right above where the screw hole posts are. Did you have those on yours as well?

Thanks Jerry and yes they had the sink marks. One wasn't that bad so I was able to sand the surrounding area to make it less visible and the other was filled with Tamiya putty. I also used the putty on the passenger front fender to cover the sink mark at the radiator support. I've done a few of these with a few more to go and they all basically have the same body defects that need some attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
