There were some fit issues on this one too. I had to pull the body back off at one point for two issues: You have to make sure that the radiator is tilted slightly towards the rear or the body wont go on forward enough to install the front suspension. Also the rear of the frame just in front of the rear wheels needs to be trimmed off. It has a solid vertical panel which is not only inaccurate, but interferes with installing the rear wheels.

Just finished this one today. I had it mostly done, but the can of Prowler purple I had went bad. Used Tamiya metallic purple (PS-18) instead. I'm really happy with this one.

Could've sworn I posted this one. Color is Duplicolor Champagne gold, interior is Citadel paint, I think it's called Wraithbone. Steering works a little, doors both open, held closed by magnets.

Built one, but never posted pictures. Both doors work and held closed with magnets. I'll post it soon. Pretty good kit overall. Thought I posted this... I'll put it in under glass.

I've been using a similar "off brand" by a company called Flysea. I find them superior to the Molotow ones. They seem to dry better, so they're a little more touch resistant. I still tend to retouch or paint chrome pieces first and let them sit until towards the end.

I've got the Smoothster in my stash. I'm gonna dig it out soon and check it after seeing this.

I love it! It's adorable.

Gorgeous paint and chrome! Excellent job!

NEAT! Used to play a lot of Palladium stuff way back when. Loved playing Rifts. I'll have to see if I can find that box set sometime. Still got 1/72 scale VF-1A Valkyrie, VAF-6J Alpha and a VF-2SS from Macross II.

I need to run by Michael's and see if I can find some beads to replace the globes.

Just finished this one mostly today (yeah, I know the globes are missing for the lights). This was a bad glue bomb, and I had to pick up a partial kit to rebuild it. The original chassis was broken and the replacement was warped, so I cut and spliced the two together. The paint is a metallic black with a blue flake. I used gold chrome pens to redo the shiny bits.

I read this a couple of days ago. First, that's why the instructions always read "use in a well-ventilated area" and typically "extremely flammable'. 3/4 of this is probably because the user is so baked on fumes that he's not doing equipment maintenance. I think overall they're just being ridiculous.

Absolutely beautiful! I wish they'd re-pop this one.

I understand Frank Sinatra had model trains as well. He was a big enthusiast from what I understand.

popsicle sticks with a loop of tape, alligator clips on skewers, skewers pushed through holes in parts. Might have to pick up some blue tac.

Absolutely stunning! I love these cars.

Whoops! Can we move this to under glass?

Just finished this one today. This was an awesome kit, I love the way they almost fall together. The blue is Rust-Oleum lacquer. It polishes out really nicely.

Been on board the USS The Sullivans when I visited Buffalo/Niagara falls. She's named after a family of men that fought in WWII. Was also on board the USS Little Rock. It was a neat tour. Good job!

Used to work for Big Lots. All I can say on their bankruptcy is: BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Let's just say we didn't part on friendly terms.

Looks awesome!

I like your choices of music!

How about using Gauzy Agent glass coat? I watch a YouTube channel where the guy is restoring die-cast cars, and he uses this all the time on clear parts. He'll sand them smooth, then dip and let dry. https://www.amazon.com/Gauzy-Agent-Bottle-AK-Interactive/dp/B01GENKXSA/ref=sr_1_1?crid=7ZGTVRTQPNIU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.woQ9yQyX1KheSz5-tGVXA0GLUa2AwPpOwZQTBwv3KhmZY7JNA_-iCYNNtFJxai3raWtmGn5ZkxhOvmV0tBb37Q7k7QGe2MEo7zWhFuqoIsk9PXKdQS7ZVp9xXEU40cwV.x4iNB3iepKYwg-iX2mLguonNMi6bMdhLWXEz8d5a0zo&dib_tag=se&keywords=gauzy+agent+glass+coat&qid=1737749996&sprefix=gauzy+glass%2Caps%2C75&sr=8-1
