It's a nice looking model , don't be so hard on yourself . A little paint work around the windows and the door handles would brighten it up quite a bit .
That's pretty cool , the tilt front and engine look great ! I've been collecting the 4Gear slot cars for a while and also have purchased several JL pull-back cars to use the bodies .
Every build is a learning experience and it looks to me like you've got it figured out , very nicely done ! If Icould hand paint the emblems and interior trim that good I wouldn't bother with foiling them .
Thanks Keith ! I always spray old decals with some Decal Bonder and never have any trouble with them , no matter how old they are .
But in this case the original decals were faded and cracked so I printed new ones .
