vintagercr Posted March 19, 2018 Posted March 19, 2018 Very nice! I would like to learn how to cast the Fujimi rims.
GlueTube Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Great job on a kit I personally found fiddly to build up. Have one more in my stash to build... Regards Brian Kroon
Reeves Racing Posted March 20, 2018 Author Posted March 20, 2018 Thanks guys, The basic kit is pretty good, it just has a few production flaws like super thick door glass that had sink holes, chrome plated headlights and the wheels were good but not as good as the Fujimi offering. A good parts box or two to find upgrades to the lights and stuff helps out.
FabbricaP Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Nice build, it sits perfectly. What did you use for the tape on the headlight covers?

Thanks, I took some 1/4" Tamiya masking tape and stuck it to some release paper (some BMF backing paper) and used a straight edge and cut it length wise about 3mm thick. Then I brush painted it with Testors "steel". After it dried I stuck it on just like you would use "200 mph tape" on a real race car. Thanks for noticing and asking. 1
