wow! ok im convinced , thanks for you r replys, so i will try this kit.

I would suggest, on this kit, you should fill the channel the chrome fits in with styrene, either strips from the hobby store or by utilizing the sprue to keep the material as perfect a match to the body, then sand down the filling plastic to match the contour of the body and fix any high/low spots or other imperfections with a glaze of putty. if your body work was done correctly, you could simply use a high build primer and sand it to perfection and not even use any putty at all.
Sorry for answering for you, Blair, I've built this car a few times....same car 3 times. It turned out to be one of my best ever builds as customs go.
I like the style with the smooth sides and wide whites.
oh, i was thing the strip was raised for the strip, this must be the lindberg kit. thanks

i like the looks of that !! I know this may sound like a dumb question, but what is the best way to remove the chrome molded trin as you have done, do yo just use sandpaper? I would love to build one as a 1954 ford

Very nice collection. What scale is that ship (and what is it), and how did you get the prop to spin on the Spitfire?
the ship is 1/700 , uss indianapolis . the spit prop is small brass tube into a slightly largere tube . I held a hair dryer blowing into the prop as I took the pic, then photo shop out the stand for the plane
