That is a real attention getter! Nice eye candy.

I like it! I have this one in my "to do" stash. Any problems with the kit? Anything to watch out for?

I really like the subjects you choose and the work you do on them. This one is simple and elegant. By simple I mean the body lines. They are nice and clean!

I like it Jonathan! You did a great job on it. I really like the second to last photo of it. Nice shot!

That is very, very nice Steve. Great job on that kit. It is nice to see them built.

Hey Astroracer, I checked the "egg" that this stuff comes in. Nothing. The packaging is long gone so I can't look at that. I doubt it had any ingredients listed on it. Probably said "Made in China" . And again for Majel, I would test this first before I used it on my model.

Looks great Craig. You really need to do us a favor and post more pictures.

That is so sweet. Paint, engine, interior, chassis.....you nailed them all.

Glad to see you're still at it. The doors came out very well. Glad you were able to fix it. I'm with Gary, I think it looks cool with the doors opened.

I find that they are almost always blowing them out at model contests. I have seen many a good deal to be had at these shows. Usually you will get a great deal if you are willing to take multiple units off of their hands.

I will give you my experience. You will have to decide if it is worth the risk. I would suggest you test it on a spare body. I have read of others using Silly Putty. Appears to be somewhat popular with the military folks. I was at a dollar store and found a pack of knock-off Silly Putty. I have no idea of the brand. I used it on vents on a race car. I placed it on the unprimed, unpainted outside of the body shell to keep the flat black that I was painting on the inside from coming through. There was also a crazy shaped hole for venting that I had no idea how to mask. I had absolutely no problems with the knock-off Silly Putty sticking nor did I have trouble with final paint. I will tell you that I wash my models throughout the sanding and painting process. I would not discount what other have said, maybe I was just lucky. I will say that I have used this putty on multiple models with no problems. I hope this helps you. Good luck and let us know what you did and how it turned out. You may be a big help to the next guy!

I'm really liking these blasts from the past. There have been a number of completed models lately that take me right back to my school days. This is definitely one of them. Nice job Tony!

That turned out absolutely gorgeous Harry. Well done! I for one appreciate the time you took with all of your postings in the WIP. I am sure everyone who checked in on it learned something.

Such a beautiful model Marcos!

They look GREAT. I wouldn't mind seeing some more pictures.

Wow!! That is some slick paint Jim! I like the color in the stacks. Nice touch to an already great engine.

I have entered this show before. Each model is judged on its of merit. You will get gold, silver, bronze or nothing. No first, second or third place. There may be a best of something or another.

Looks like you are off to a great start Dale. I have built this kit as a 24 hour build. Just OOB, not detailed at all. I don't believe I had any major problems with the kit. Keep us updated.

Cool little Datsun! Looks good in that blue.

So, so, soooo cleanly built!

I'm not sure what it is about this one but I like it. I think it is the fact that it does not have all the graphics or wild colors on it. It is very "clean" in a number of ways and for me, that is refreshing. Nice job Steven!

Nice to see this in the white and blue scheme. Looks great!

For me, that is one of the sexiest race cars I've laid eyes on. You did such a nice job on it. I did this same one for a 24 hour build a few years back. I had trouble with the stripes. Mine cracked and broke apart very easily.

Keep up the good work Gary. It is coming along very nicely.
