  1. Hi Sir! Very nice, and absolutely period correct. Even the roof is in tune with the times. Bravo! I bought the Stock-car version, and made a Pro-Touring of it, Not complete yet, but you give me the itch to go for it! CT
  2. Thanks Donato! It was long to build, but well worth it... CT
  3. Thank you Bruce! I somehow discovered that reversing the hood via those hinges is the best way to avoid having to display the car with a closed hood... or having it to sit on the display table next to the car. Plus you can close if the judges ask for it in a blink! CT
  4. weird unforeseen consequences
  5. Hi Anders! Verrrrrrrrrry nice, and the color combo is superb. Bravo! I have two tof this kit in my stash, and I'm afraid you just got me to go ahead! CT
  6. Hi! I had good results applying Molotow's chrome, from the refill bottle, not the pens. Pour some in a small container, use a number two brush, and apply VERY WET on the part, only once, with minimal overlap. It works fine (see front suspension on roadster below). Do NOT retouch what you just applied, or it will show streaks and dull sections. If you absolutely have to apply a second coat, wait at least a week, and make it LESS WET than the first, to avoid too thick a chrome surface. Good luck! CT
