Yea, there were problems...the rear inner fenders required modifications and the body/interior assembly had to be moved rearward so that the rear inner fenders would properly fit the frame contours...of course the hood and sides were now too short so material had to be added blended in to lengthen the hood assembly and a new radiator support rod had to be fabricated. The model could still be built as is and the rear tires would probably cover the poor rear inner fender fit but I'm a picky SOB and a glutton fer punishment.

Ed Fluck just sent me some goodies...a chopped '32 3 window coupe, chopped '32 5 window coupe, chopped '32 Tudor, and some stock firewalls and a chopped uptop fer the '32 Roadster. Very nice stuff...highly recommended.

How would you tackle this? (NASCAR)
Mothersworry replied to SgtForce's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I'm not familiar with the model you mention so I'm not sure how practical this suggestion is but perhaps cutting away any clear areas of decal material from the images will work. With the proper setting solutions (compatible with the decals) the decals should stick to the flat finish just fine and without any clear areas...no silvering Fer what it's worth... -
Thank you fer yer comment, As I recall the body kit did come with wheel inserts but the MRC chassis I used wuz from their earlier version of the Cooper Cobra with covered rear wheels (series I) so the correct wheels were already there, I just refinished them. Tires are from the Monogram Chaparrel 2.

Would like to have one...kinda surprised nobody does a resin kit in 1/24 or 1/25.

Another one just fer fun, 1/32 scale Monogram series II Cooper Cobra finished with Tamiya paints and misc. decals. The body wuz from Professor Motor and the chassis is an MRC. Slot it deep guide with NSR low Friction braids added.

Just fer fun, 1/32 scale MRC Cheetah refinished with Tamiya paints and Patto decals. Slot it deep guide w/NSR low Friction braids and wider silicone rear tires.

Well I have. I'm always tryin to find ways to further idiot-proof my workspace so while playin website roulette on the internet I found these goodies on a website called "Jeff Did It" (also on Amazon and Esty with the same seller name). I'm pretty impressed, the stuff is 3d printed in various colors with rubber feet on the bottom. They have holders fer all kinds of hobby type bottles.

GT40 MkII...LeMans 1966

Cady decals were much easier to work with. -
purple LED - any such thing?
Mothersworry replied to fiatboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yes,...purple LEDs exist. I believe they are commonly used as grow type lights as they are ultraviolet kinda like a blacklight. -

Mothersworry replied to T-Ray's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers

Yup, Fugimi did get the wheels wrong, but I can live with it.
