Thanks man 🙏🙏🙏

Oh man, sorry to hear about your results....man that's terrible that it destroyed your kit. For me, I usually soak my parts/body for only a few minutes, and use a toothbrush to help it along. Since it's "non hazardous" I don't even use gloves while I strip. My 47 Aerosedan (Fleetmaster) took about 4 minutes from start/scrubbing to finish and wash with Dawn. I don't really let it soak.

Love to see any progress on this build 👍

I've used almost everything out there from brake fluid, purple power, oven cleaner, to the expensive AK paint stripper that works super good but is super expensive, and comes in a very small bottle (about 3 fl.oz. My go to right now is Stripwell. It works great, reusable, and fast! I've painted and repainted a car body 4 times in the same day trying to get the base, flake, and candy color correct. That's 4 times in one day guys! Yes, it's a little pricier, but you get a good amount of product, and its reusable. The liquid I'm using right now il black from all the uses, and is about 3 years old. It's still just as strong as day one.

Killer build!!!

Thank you very much, yes I pushed my skill level to the limit with this build.

Thanks so much! I'm humbled by your kind words. 🙏

🙏🙏🙏

Thanks dude! I tried my best to push this build to the limits of my skills.

Thanks so much. 🙏

Man, I'm glad you like it. I put a lot of extra effort into this 1:16 build. 🙏

Thank you! 🙏

So originally I was going to shoot it with 2k clear, and make it shine....but the more I looked at the car with only the raw paint, the look grew on me. And I knew I needed to shoot a clear over it to protect the paint and especially the decals, and that's why I decided to keep it the raw paint look with the 2k matte.

Thank you! 🙏

Here are the finished pictures of the build. Lots of Photo-Etched parts, as well as stainless steel and aluminum rods and wires were used. All of the plumbing, hoses and wires are aftermarket, I used none of the stuff that came with the kit. Wheels are spun aluminum from Dancing Bear Scaled Components. Decals are from Atlantis as well as from Chuck Boerner and Slixx. Lots of aftermarket work has been done to it. #ImagineBuildEnjoy

Body is done. I used decals from the Atlantis kit, as well as decals from Chuck Boerner, and Slixx. Paint is All Nipon Airways Light Pearl Blue with Acme Finish1 2k matte clear.

Thank you very much 🙏🙏🙏

The braided lines are from Detai Master, same as the AN Fittings. The 90° AN Fittings are 3d printed parts.

Chassis is pretty much done. Wheels are from Dancing Bear Scaled Components.

So here's I'm using only the ends of the plastic steering linkages and lateral bars, drilled holes in them and attached them to stainless steel rods that have been cut to the appropriate lengths.

🙏🙏🙏

Fuel and oil lines are done. 🤙

Thanks 🤙

I got a lot done over the past few days. I shot the chassis with Roth "Bad Azz Blue" metal flake, the holes in the fuel cell were filled in and drilled new holes in it and painted it with Splash Paints Aluminum Metalizer. Made the seat belts harness and transmission blanket straps, ran the fuel and oil lines, mounted the motor, and headers.
