Thank you Cato! My next step is to put some leather on my resin front seats.

While I am waiting for the ”Future” to come from USA, I start with the steering wheel. I have bought the horn ring from MMC, but made my own ignition lever from al wire and a washer and I used the Pocher steering wheel.

Thank you all. I live and learn, and it´s always fun to get tips, how to solve things, here from the forum.

Thank you Bill! Nice to get suggestions for my problems. I will try to get some “Future” but, as Skip says, I have to look if we have a similar product here in Sweden. Otherwise I have to go the big “Internet” J When I get some, I will try Catos suggestion.

Cato, thank you! Can I put a layer of the primer to the last layer of paint?? This Future your mention. Can I get that I an razzle can? I don´t have any airbrush.

Very nice and very fine details.

Trying to paint this red beast to white, not easy! The red tone is slightly visible through the white primer and paint, more primer and paint maybe. I have put this question in “Modeling how-tos”

I´m building this Pocher Mercedes in “Big boys” but I think my question is general so I put it here. This was not easy, I have put on three layers off Tamiya fine white primer and wet sanded between. Now when I put on the first layer of Tamiya “pure white” I see that the red I slightly visible. It´s not pure white, it has a kind of darker white, not as white as the fenders. The fenders and all other parts are in white plastic, so they get fine in white paint. Can I sand the paint and put on more layers of the primer?? Any idea how to solve this problem is welcome.

Yes, it works! Thank you! I have tested with one photo, it´s get a little smaller but still nice. I will change my other photos soon. /Bo

Ok, thank you. If I delete some "big" photos, is it possible to insert a "new one" from Photobucket instead??

Is this way to post photos even works from ”Dropbox”?

I have, which said earlier in this thread, that the radiator braces come to close to the engine top. I cut of the plastics “tops” and save some millimeters. Now I shall put some BMF on them.

I think I got a decent fit for the doors. Maybe I have to take away some tenth of a millimeter around, to make place for the paint. Yes the door handles work and also the windows crank. I was not pleased with the fit of the hood, so I have to redo it, and glue the hinges one more time. Hope it will work this time.

Very nice! I hope you get better soon.

Thank you Tony!

Cato you are right. My complete kit was missing this “small” part, so the only one I could get was this used maroon main body. I think I can manage this crack with some filler and sanding before painting.

A new year and new challenges. Is this the right “height” of the rumble seat cover, when it is in open position? I don´t have any good reference photos.

Some works with the spotlight/center headlight. Painted inside the housings with some chrome/silver to get rid of the “brass shine”.

Thank you Bruce! It´s going sloooowly forward.

Looks good! Always fun with another Pocher builder.

They are all very nice build and so is the photos.

Yes, that was a good idea! Thank you Cato. You’re perfectly right that I may need to “open” the door half’s again to make some maintenance.

The windows “up and down” is working if I move the cranks careful. I have “dull down” the leather little, with the tips from Cato (fine steel wool) but you don´t see that in the photos. I think I am ready to glue the door half’s together. That I don´t know is what kind of glue I should use for this? Contact glue, CA-gel, CA-thin or ordinary “serious glue”. This “moment” of putting thing together is a little bit scary, I don´t want to mess up with it. Any tips is welcome.

The doors! As you can see in the photos I glue some plasticards strips on the door, to improve the function/movements of the door latches.

I have changed my mind I´m not going to paint the U-channel black, they should be painted in chrome/silver.
