  1. I used aluminium tubing too, but a while ago i found some kind of needles in a craft stores where they are selling art jewlery material.

    i don't remeber the name of this thing, but it's made like a needle,  minus the sharp side, it's having just the right size for Mopar markers.

    Of course it's available in different sizes, just choose the one that's right for your need.

    I joined a picture to help you find this part if you try.

     

    Good luck!

  2. Thank's for replies.

    I usually wouldn't have done such modifications to a model because it's time consuming and i have lots of projects in mind....

    But this one has been in my mind  since i bought the kit, i knew that i'll build it as a Nascar racer, and i wanted to try my hand on scratchbuilding also at this point.

    In all, i'm pretty satisfied with the results,  it may not be 100% correct, but it is exactly what i wanted so far.

    But my next models will be a lot simpler, i bought a few kits lately and i want to build more than only one of them in a year..LOL...

  3. Hi Folks!

    It's been a while since my last post, i had less time to be at the workbench lately, but i managed to get some work on my Daytona...

    I woked more on the body colors, can't wait to get this cleared with urethane.

    I shot a coat of black (gloss base coat) on the top, because there will be a large #6 sticker, i will shoot a flat clearcoat when done.

    And i done the rear Daytona Stripe, with a Auto Air fluorescent orange like the real car had back in the day, lots of masking have been involved, but i'm pretty much satisfied with the result.

    Next step, i will do Bare Metal Foil and top decal before clearing.

    See ya, and have great summer vacations everyone.
