metalhead Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 How do the mold lines on your cab and hood look? I've got tons of flash and plastic buildup on my hood just behind the fender mounting holes. And the fender mounting holes are completely flashed over on my kit. I hate to say it, but I'm going to lose all of that rivet detail on mine. I heard that Archer rivet decals work really well, so I'll have to try that once I get around to building mine.
mackinac359 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 All of the AMT, Revell, Monogram 359 kits have an odd mold parting seam at the apex of the arch on the hood sides (this appears on the Monogram Kenworth W900 too). On the Revell of Germany 359's, the hood may appear to have a squared appearance to the arch between the hood top and sides. The arch should be smooth and free of lines or hard edges. There is also an annoying mold parting seam on the cab cowl that follows the contour of the cab. Tim
bandit1 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks for the info tim ill check mine out when I get it... Hope to see some progress soon on this wrecker... Hope to get mine soon to

dragzz Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 tys guys looks like likw my cab and hood will need some work i will post some pic when i feel better i came down with the dam cold i will be back soon tys again
dragzz Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 so here are some pic of my cab and hood so u guys cane see whats going on it dont look that bad so far as i done have some scrab tools to take off the mold lines let me know what u all think
mackinac359 Posted January 1, 2015 Posted January 1, 2015 That's typical of this kit - a sharp Xacto blade and some careful trimming and a swipe with some sandpaper will remove that flash. Be careful not to remove the rivets along the hood panel seam. The fender mounting slots - you don't have to clean those out, you can reduce the size of the mounding peg on the fender as the peg/slot shouldn't be visible in the finished build. Tim
dragzz Posted January 1, 2015 Author Posted January 1, 2015 so far its not that bad for mold lines iv seen some real bad ones at times if i go nice slow all will be fine will show pic as i go thu with it tys all
