The weathering and aging is right on the money Adam! If you ever do an armor build let me know. I'll be glued to the computer screen!

Looks good so far Jeremy!

Good Lord! Now this is just flat out beautiful. What vision you have in creativity and application! This is above and beyond in almost every category and I love watching every segment of this build. You never fail in the entertainment of this hobby I'll tell you that.

All of your body work looks great Jesse. Filling and sanding were never my favorites of model building but are a necessary evil I'm afraid. Again, looking good!

I saw that Jim. LOL Good catch for you too!

Thanks Dan and John! As far as the stud goes, thanks for bringing that to my attention and you're right. I'm going to get right on that stud and I have the perfect thing to use. I'll get to that later.....heh heh.

Wow! Where do people like you come from that can make these interiors so convincing? Top notch dude!

Thanks Bruce and Carl! The encouragement is much appreciated. I painted up the inside rearview mirror black this morning. I'm waiting on that to cure out and then I'll seal it with a semi-gloss clear. After that I'll apply the BMF to the "mirror glass". One thing that I did happen to overlook was two engine bay decals. Since this is a "re-build" and not a from the box build (technically speaking) I have not looked at the instruction sheet on the classic kit boxing. I noticed, as I was looking for anything I may have missed, at the instruction sheet finally that there are two decals one of which goes on the L/H inner fender and the other on the radiator core support. Anyways, I applied them and it added to the detail I have there. I'm happy with the results.

This is excellent work Renaz! Keep these pics coming man! Wow!

It's looking better all the time. That chrome really brings the paint all out. Thank God for BMF!!! lol

Tim: LOL . I'll be putting the finishing touches on the interior tomorrow and double checking to make sure I aint forgetting anything before putting the body on. .........fingers crossed! Don: Come on with it man!

I hear you on that! Some of those add-ons get pretty pricey! lol

Dan: Thanks man! I'm gettin' the jitters to get this one done alright! lol Tim: Thank you also there bud! I'll take that new president like.................................now! lol 'Preciate it Mike and Don!

Those light blue paints will work for the washer fluid in the reservoir. Something else I found that works is to apply the blue over the bottle and then shoot a coat of clear with a couple of drops of white mixed in it to give the illusion of fluid inside the bottle instead of looking like painted on blue on the outside of the reservoir.

Looking forward to the pictures Jason!

Heya Tony! If you ever have that problem again with worries about too much weight on landing gear, you can always try metal landing gear available here: http://store.spruebrothers.com/category_s/1916.htm?searching=Y&sort=7&cat=1916&show=100&page=1&brand=Scale%20Aircraft%20Conversions

Thanks James! I'll end up getting past the headlamp blues thankfully. I forgot to post this yesterday. This is what I started off with for outside rearview mirrors. When I say a lot of clean up...............I mean a lot of clean up. This morning I just worked on the final body prep for installation stuff. Headlining , which I elected not to go too crazy with. It's at this stage that I find myself being careful to not just throw it together. You guys know that point in a build to where you're close to the finish line and the anxiety starts ramping up to be done with it and see it finished. I find myself actually slowing way down at this part of the build to avoid an easy mistake or overlook something.

Hang with it brutha Pat. Your persistence and patience is paying off.

Thanks for the encouragement and I'll be takin' care of that problem with the lenses.

..............and it's gonna be another rockin' build here!!!!! I'm not much on the newer style wheels and tires but with the way you have this one set up it looks good.

That interior looks verrry convincing Bill! I can see the flooring and like the embossing powder idea!

Now I've been guilty of that a time or two! lol

I wondered what the recipe was...

Thanks Dan! Man I hope so................soon! lol

I hear ya loud and clear Fred! I hate those stupid "dots" in the middle of the lenses! lol Thank you sir for the friendly input.
