I had never seen one of those so I thought it would be interesting to share the picture with y'all.

Sure will Mark, I fought with the rear window today, no way could I get all the surfaces flush with the body, but its close enough to not be seen without close scrutiny. Then got the interior and chassis on the body so It's getting close. Phew!!!!

Looks awesome Joel, great job??

So true Mark, not a lot of good to say about this kit in general but it will build out nicely enough. I'm almost done with mine.

Interesting and cool looking Cutlass Tim. Nice job?

Posted on "Barn Finds" to day this crazy '57. Was said to be originally military transport car at a military airfield.

Thanks Lorne, Gotta check it out.

I was one that actually witnessed one getting rear ended that blew up. It was on an interstate service road late at night, but it happened just as I was passing by it on the interstate highway.

Your Merc has a....can I say, unusual look to it but I like it. Cool and nice build Roger?

Just recently started airbrushing unthinned Stynylrez acrylic on the recommendation of another forum member. Not so sure it is really any better than the Krylon rattlecan primer I used to use but I wanted something acrylic that I could airbrush. Will continue to use it. And in comes in several colors too.

That sure looks like a challenging kit to build. Hope to see a WIP on one.

Welcome back Lorne. This is such a great looking build so it's great you're back too it. A lot of beautiful work....the engine is awesome. If I missed it, may I ask where the wheels and tires came from???

So "battlescars" seem to be pretty darn common here?

Good point Richard, seems this thread is a little off track and heck even I am guilty of doing so. What you have described is a true example of "involved". A lot to be done there. And by the way, thanks for the mirror gluing tip.

Hi Mark. I got windshield taken care of on my '63. Actually I had to take of about 1/8" off the "Wing" windows and I cut the roof part off just like you did yours. I just used a file to remove the excess on mine. Then I fought with darn rear view mirror to get it glued in and positioned right. Haven't checked the rear window fit yet. Oh, I had to trim a bit off the windshield at the lower edge also...I might have glued the firewall a bit too far back.

I have a new one after fighting with it today. Glueing that tiny mirror on the windshield without messing up the "glass". I used the testors window maker and it's kinda hard to hold the darn thing steady in the right position while it sets up. ?

Very nice Dave?

Cool build, really nice work Paul?

A few interesting items but no real pictures of them.

Great job on that, looks perfect!!?

Goodness thats a shiny finish Tom.

I too feel it rewarding to complete a successful foiling job. Can't say its relaxing tho.

Yep, I was stupidly holding a part with my thumb and finger and drilling a hole I didn't expect to go all the way thru.....it did and into my thumb. ?

Good clarification Steve. I also use the blue tape, sometimes the Tamiya tape for slight curves but like the blue tape better for straight lines.

Looks good Chaz. I seldom critique others models but we've "talked" several times about things. I'm gonna PM ya.
