Unpainting & a Wash!
I tried painting the Lines or Hoses with a small brush and I messed it up. Then I tried a toothpick but that didn't work too well. So I cleaned up and touched up the mess. Next I tried removing the Silver Paint from the Lines with an X-acto Knife, that worked! The Blue Plastic shows through where I scraped off the paint.
Then I finished painting all of the details and applied a Black Wash from "The Detailer".
After the Wash dried I sprayed on a couple of coats of Testors Glosscote.

Next I added some Pod Racer Plumbing next to the Edsel Vents. A Car "A" Arm was added between the Sides and the Ball Tire.
Bullet Fuel Tanks were added next to the X-Wing Engines. Then I added 8 Weber Carbs from the AMT Double Dragster Kit.

Rear Window...
I forgot to mention I wanted to enlarge the Rear Window.
I cut out the Window with a Cut-Off Wheel. Then I cleaned it up with an X-Acto Knife, Sanding Boards and a File.
Here it is after the Top Chop.

Adding More Details!
You can add a lot of detail to a kit with Plastic and Aluminum Tubing. I painting some Plastic Tubing with Tamiya Silver Leaf and cut 2 short lengths off.
I am going to mount the Tubing over the 2 little plastic nipples sticking up.
Here is one glued in place.
