Thats great of you to do that Joe and certainly something to consider. Any thing we can do for veterans is a great thing to do. My Dad did 24 years in the Army and Navy, I did my 7 years in the Army National Guard.
So far I don't really have any kits I would want to rob parts from....I still have it in my mind I will get them built even tho in reality I know it will never happen.
As a side note, when I say I feel old my dear wife says "Well, it beats the alternative"?
Well for me, being retired and in my mid-70's I usually get around to doing a bit of work after lunch for an hour to 3. Not every day tho. So it takes me quite a weeks to get a model complete. Big problem for me is I can't get a model finished before I wind up getting more to build. One thing for sure, I have a lot of kits that will never get build. Not a good thing to think about.?
Well Ron, that sure is a shame. As stated, when the moulded in edge is not well defined, the tape method definately works. So far, I haven't layed the foil down first as you recommended Steve, gonna have to try it that way.
Well Craig, sure hope you can get the exact color. I would think you could only tell how close it is to that real C3 with clearing. That is one beautiful example of the '71 you are replicating,
Good luck!!
Thanks again Bill. I have the back window on my AMT '66 Chevelle SS i'm in process of doing and there is not a whole lot of surface to set the "glass" in. I'll be using the Testors stuff.
