Hey, everyone, I forgot to post a couple of things that needed to go with my last posting.

-Photo 1; This is something I do to almost every part that needs to be inlaid. I don't know how many times I've seen frustrated modelers who tried to jam parts into place, only to find that they wont seat all the way. When they try to remove it......paint chips usually follow along. Slightly tapering parts gives a better chance for things to fit the best they can, but if they still cant, at least it gives you more control on making them uniformly "off a bit".

-Photo 2; Like I talked about in photo one, the fitment of the brake light assembly in this kit, has been poor, and quite a few modelers tried to force this piece in, and cracked the glass in the process. Others have left it half in...half out. So that those of you who brave this kit don't have to worry about it, i'm showing you all I had to do to mine to get an EASY....flush placement. I didn't have to sand the inside of the opening at all, since that was the end that went in fine, but I did have to trim-away the back corners as you can see...….it just drops in nicely now!

Hey- there's tape all over those windows~ how they gonna see?....what a comodian eh?

you use a matte black for that? acrylic I assume...

I used Tamiyas flat black for the borders, and their clear smoke for the tint.

No problem, bud!....I wouldn't know about how it air brush's, since I use rattle cans...lol

How many hours you think ya got in that bad boy? Whatever the amount- that's a real showstopper!! You could lay that down on a table just about anywhere and come out smilin'  So, it done-done?? You plan on entering it in a competition?

Thanks, Kevin!!, I have NO clue how many hours, but I can tell you that I started it in January. I don't have fun competing anymore, so I don't.
