So... After thinking I was going to get some major part accomplished on this build. I got out smarted by the instructions. The main body, has two parts. So I had everything painted and was applying decals thinking that all I need to do was attach the bottom portion to the main structure. Well....Nope! The big number decal that sits on the side is too big for the main structure. So I needed to attach the bottom part. After trying to do this it all went to hell! I glued the two half’s together and filled in the seams, wile doing this I sanded all the detail off of the body ☹️ So I did some searching for what some would say is a lazy way to fix my detail problem. I found some resin rivets for trains, so I bought some and I am going to give it a try Wish me luck, I may get this thing in color again soon -

So after an exhausting time of stripping the paint off of the main body and re priming it with grey instead of white. I got the correct color tone that matches the rest of the car. I found this out when I was laying down decals. I noticed that some of the decals are bigger and I need to put the bottom half of the main part together. I realized that the base primer I used was white and not grey, so the tone was lighter than it should have been....ooops ? now I am back to where I started. For those of you who are checking in Than you ! Mooneyes a big Thank you for listening and encouraging me. Chris -
