Thank You ! My issue was just not being careful & taking my time with it. So last night I took a little break from the Lambo & the Hemi Dart (It's in Final assembly) and was searching some pictures of the Aventador and came across a Super Charger that can be purchased for the Aventador so It got me thinking (Scary !) so I may give it a go to scratch build one for my build since there is not much engine detail to this kit.

John when you shoot the Alclad do you clear it afterwords ? and if so what kind of clear?

Awesome !

Well I have a set back on this build. Had laid the paint on then after it dried sanded out some small blemishes and taped off areas to be reshot then while removing tape touched area that was reshot & messed it up so now I'm striping the body in brake fluid. Disappointing but just have to move on and be just a little more patient.

Nice and clean build !!

Well got the windows installed tonight and test fitted to see if anything needed to be adjusted and of course the distributor was pushing up the hood. Did not think that it would since it was the correct distributor. Looked at it a little better and noticed the spark plug wire boots that I installed on the distributor where the problem so I just notched the hood some so now the hood sets flush. Test fitted before painting and did not notice this issue before so its another lesson learned.

Bare Metal Foil Done.

Got the bare metal foil on tonight.

Me on the Carnival Cruise Ship Splendor getting ready to depart with the wife who took the picture on a 10 day cruise to Mexico last summer & one blast from the past & I think I was about 15 when that picture was taken.

Thank You all For the Great Reply's ! Going to try & get a few builds done this year for the NNL West Show in 2014 ! It was an awesome show this year & was me first year attending.

Well I have finished polishing out the body & hood today so maybe tomorrow afternoon or evening I can start final assembly.

I recently picked up this kit but not sure when I will get to building it yet. But what I see here is awesome! Still kicking around ideas on how I want to build it.

Here are some mock up photos. I still need to rub out the clear coat which I will do this weekend add the coolant hoses,brake lines,seat belts etc and get the stance done.

I will probably detail it myself by scratch building some of the parts & I may add coils & wires.

Got the Decals on last night & cleared the body and hood today so hopefully if everything goes right I can get the Dart assembled sometime this week.

Only thing thats disappointing about this kit is that there is not much engine detail to this kit.

I actually was a member of the club. My Uncle bought my first Model for me at about the age of 6 & it was the Fiat Drag Car with the opening doors & what was really cool is that my Mother helped me build it and on my birthday later that year my Mother got me the Model of the month subscription. I'll never forget that my Mother did that for me God rest Her Sole.

I'll be praying for you. Its not fun being in the hospital I know from my own experience.

Been working the Aventador off and on & just doing the basic clean up on the parts and I have 90% of the body & panels in primer but not sure on color yet. Was thinking of the Gun Metal & blacking out the wheels & interior Matt Black with Grey accents on the seats & other panels. You guys have any other input on Colors for this Raging Bull ? I also purchased the detail set for this kit which is the Aoshima.

Nice Build & Pictures ! Wish one of these company's would put out a FJ40 & 45 pickup.

Awesome John !

Awesome John ! Maybe one day I can get to your skill level John.

Well I finally got the 68 Hemi repainted today in Bronze it was Root Beer & the Root Beer just did not look right to me plus when I installed the rear decal strip I laid it down wrong and the rubber band I had wrapped around the front to hold on the frame so I could get the ride height right on the front cut into the paint really bad. Plus I worked on the Lamborghini Aventador Brake assembly's.

Working on the 68 Hemi (repainted in Bronze) & working on the Lamborghini Aventador & blasting out some Judas Priest.

Got the Hemi Dart primed today and some of my next build which is a Lamborghini Aventador. Man I really like the Tamiya Primer that primer goes on really thin and smooth.
