carman1 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Thanks for the kind words everyone, I had fun building this old kit, Ive got a few more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Very nice, but one thing I'm noticing is that you didn't clean up the area where the parts were attached to the sprues. You left rough spots or "nubs" there. I see it on the air cleaner covers, the steering wheel, the windshield header, the inside rear-view mirror, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carman1 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) No excuses, I did not notice the steering wheel or the mirror, my eyes aren't what they once were, but every time I touched the chrome on this kit a little more came off Edited November 11, 2016 by carman1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
