Wow, Andrew. You are definitely the king of the very small parts makers. Those parts are so small but yet so accurate. Amazing.

Thanks, Donato. Always appreciate you stopping by.

Sounds good to me. Mark J.

Didn't want to make more work for you, David. But maybe a touch darker wouldn't hurt? Mark J.

Who knew a six banger could look so good? You have your work cut out for you, Andrew.

Just follow your ref pics and you can't go wrong. Just do some work then check the pic, then do some more work and check the pic until they match. Easy, peasy.

Got the upper surfaces polished. Pretty happy with it. You can see the reflection of the desk lamp in the hood and the trunk. The gold is a hint better looking too and the decals should adhere better as well. I painted a bunch of black stuff with a spray can I found in the garage. I believe it got the job done. I still need to polish the sides of the model. I'm using polishing pads dry because they tend to come apart when you wet them. I start with 3200 grit and work my way up to 12000.

Good moves there Kevin. I agree. That nose needed some aero work done to it and what you've done will help immensely.

Thanks, David. That clears that up nicely. Wonder why they used grey. You'd think they would have used a black rubber seal. I'm sure they had a good reason for using the grey. Mark J.

David, you are making great progress. One thing I'm not sure of is the back glass molding around it. Will this be chrome or something else. I must have missed something earlier in the discussion. Model on, I'm liking what I'm seeing. Mark J.

So, Ken. You made your own kit and built it. Very impressed with your results as always. Beautiful race car.

Made places where the huge tires can be mounted to the build and have the correct stance. Trying to make the suspension like the real car would have taken so much time and effort it would not have been worth it. So, I just went for the easy route instead as the photos below will show. I will have no views of the bottom of the car when I post the final photos. They are not necessary. This is a pure shelfer and that's it.

Thanks, Kevin for the advice. I will give a bigger brush a try and see if my results are better.

I think you will have the results you are looking for. Great idea.

Thanks, D.W. for stopping by and sharing your thoughts about the build. Appreciate it very much.
