EaglePassNative Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Well, here goes. I used to build alot of truck models as a teenager over 25 years ago. Here is my first one since then. It may look as gimpy as they did then but it was big fun now that I stopped building the real stuff (hot rods mainly) due to high cost. I narrowed the bed and extended the front fenders. Also used nothing but super glue, and it shows. Hazed the painted surfaces and cab windows. Even tried my hand at BMF but the visor looks like it was crumpled up then half ass straightened back out with all its creases in the foil. Oh well, you live and learn.

Kodiak Island Modeler Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 That's one of the nicest builds I've seen of that kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackinac359 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 To avoid the wrinkles on visors, install it when painting, then foil it after the paint has cured. This way it won't flex when you're rubbing the foil on. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
