cruz Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 This was a review kit for SA I did a few months back, nasty little critter, 80% of the time spent building this thing was cleaning up parts. All the chrome was replaced with Alclad and even though I cannot alter the kit because of the review, this one was one of those kits that just had to be dealt with....

cobraman Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Great build of a tough kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bastardo Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I was about to write I miss some altering and detailing on it, but then I read the part about building it for a review... Anyhow: It looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ Boy Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Very nicely done, Marcos! Box stock can be beautiful if it's done cleanly, and yours certainly is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Looks great Marcos and I don't remember any problems when I built mine a couple of years ago. I did use a resin body and nose though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did use a resin body and nose though. Thank you guys and Nick, I wouldn't say I had problems with the build itself, just the heavily chromed parts full of mold lines all over. Wish I could have put some wiring and plumbing on that engine, surely lots of potential there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown03SVT Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 A challenging kit for sure! Looks great. I know all to well about cleaning all the ejection marks and mold seams. Pretty sure the one doesn't have a lick of chrome on it for that reason. Thank goodness for metalizers and Alclad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete L. Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Marcos, Super job, that's the nicest build of this kit I've ever seen, great finish !!! Edited September 28, 2013 by Pete L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemi Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Marcos, this car is great! Looks really nice, especially the paint finish. But do you can do a WIP-Thread in future? I want to see how you build your cars in the single steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see how you build your cars in the single steps. Thank you guys, lately I have not been doing this much because I have been very busy doing work for reviews and other articles. Hopefully I can do something down the road..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruz Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Very good job as usual. I might just buy this kit. Which paint do you use for the body?Thank you guys. Paint is Testors Light Blue enamel from the small bottles but I added at least 2 more bottles of white to lighten it more and simulate the real car. After this I cleared it with Testors Wet Look Clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
