MarkJ Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 Thanks, Mike. They actually were pretty shiny at the start of the season but after a while they weren't so shiny anymore. Back then a lot of the competitors used the same car all season. They didn't have a fleet of cars like they do today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted September 23, 2022 Author Share Posted September 23, 2022 Made and installed the rear-view mirror and tomorrow I will paint it and then I can assemble the sub-assemblies . After that I just need to paint and put the tire/wheel assemblies together and add the firestone decals. after that I can install the tire/wheels and then just do some mop up work here and there and be finished.

MarkJ Posted October 1, 2022 Author Share Posted October 1, 2022 Just installed the tire/wheel assemblies. Futured the decal sheets so they will be ready to use when I get to that point. Still need to make the hood and deck pins and touch up the exhaust ports. Oh yes, and there's always the windshield and back glass brackets. I'm glad my next build will be exclusively oob, and I mean that sincerely. Hoping to order the kit Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Will start decaling today, if possible. The model is finally finished, except for a final blue touch up, right before the future goes on. Got my next build ordered yesterday. Looking forward to something completely different.

MarkJ Posted October 8, 2022 Author Share Posted October 8, 2022 Halfway through the decaling process and I found out that future is not a good fixadent for ink jet decals. I decided to do the color decals that go on top of the white underlays on the inkjet printer because it prints clearer with tiny detail then the laser printer does. Luckily, I had an old can of testors 1261 clear rattle can to clear over the future to hopefully save the rest of the decals, so I won't have to print another sheet. I always make multiple decals on my sheets in case of mistakes. My next build arrived in the mail yesterday. Thank you, Mike. You always provide excellent service. I noticed my next build had finally arrived on his website, so I ordered one of those too. Looking at the instructions I will probably be busy for at least a year on these two builds. There's no way I could wing it on these models without instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give us a hint please? Pierre, You will see when the wip begins hopefully later this week. Most guys will not be interested in the wip because they have already built a few themselves, so it will basically just be for me to review before I tackle my next one. Maybe eventually I won't need the instructions anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
