I purchased this model kit as an open box. The windshield was cracked down the middle, the rear glass was also cracked. The passenger side A pillar was seriously bent, I was unable to straighten in completely. I made the windshield and back glass to replace the cracked ones. This is the first time using embossing powder for carpet, I think I got my glue too thin. Painted with silver metallic acrylic craft paint in my 20 dollar airbrush. Still struggling a bit with BMF but I am getting better. Anyhow this is the finished product, I am satisfied based on what I had to start with. Comments and tips for improvement welcome.
