I'd start in the door jambs and panel gaps first, then go over the rest of the body. It all depends on you!. You can't make a mistake with a beater! Once your summer season starts, you could if possible leave it out in the sun to really fade the paint too. By that, I mean just leave it there untill winter comes around again. The sun will really bleach the paint like a real car. James.

Oops! How did you do the windshield?. I've never seen kit glass done with the result you've achieved! I'm really impressed with that, wow! Do you call this model finished?, or is it a work in progress? I have a few ideas for it, but if you're over it, then let it be. Well done! James.

Hi Brandon, I like nothing more than a rusty old car in 1/25 I hardly ever post here because what I have to say has been said by someone else before I get the chance. A black wash is made by using a little bit of black paint with a lot of thinners. Say if your using either Testors or Humbrol paint, then use enamel thinners to thin the paint down. I dont really work to a ratio, but I guess 90% thinners to 10% paint so it's really thin and you''re on your way!. I use the thinnest brush I can find and dip it into the mix then put the brush against where you want the wash to flow, and just let the brush touch the body and it will do the rest. If you're going to put the wash into a door jamb, start from the top of the door pillar, then as it works its way down, build it up where the door rubbers would be on a real car. If you don't like the result, 100% thinners will get rid of it. How did

Thanks to the both of you.

Hi everbody,my name is James. This is my first post on here, so I hope you don't mind if I ask a question that has probably been asked and answered a thousand times before! I've been building the Revell 'Baldwin Motion' 1970 chevelle and now has come the time to finish off the engine. My intention is to complete the engine with as much detail as I possibly can. I've installed a pre wired distributor and a resin dominator(?) carby. Before I wire the plugs, I wanted to install the throttle wire and return spring in the correct way. I can take a guess and probably get it wrong, but if there's anyone out there with info on 'how to do it', I'd really really appreciate it! I've already purchased MCG throttle linkage detail set 2031 and linkage detail set 2146, but now I just don't know where to start or what goes where to make it look like it belongs??
