Hooked on Chaparral Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Better photos along with the finished product. Too early this morning to be messing around taking photos (6:30)
Gramps46 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 I like what you did with this kit. What did you use for the spring panel fasteners on the sides?

Expand https://www.modelbuilderswh.com Pg. 10 they are sold out now, but, try the manufacturers I don't like taking bidness away from somebody but, when you gotta have it you gotta have it.

Gramps46 Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Thanks for your response. I might have to revert to light bulb filament if I can find some small enough.
Hooked on Chaparral Posted July 20, 2018 Author Posted July 20, 2018 (edited) Thanks you guys, first build in 20 years. I chose NOT to polish it out for 2 reasons A: the paint turned out pretty good( after all it's a racing car not a Delahaye) & B: too many little potential polishing problems on this, I'm doing a good old Treatment polish & wax and calling it a day. I will get better photos I did some things in the tail end and just a few other things, interior, etc.. Oh I also scratch built the chassis, not suspension, just straight axles, not sure if I am quite ready for that stuff yet after the layoff. I used the chassis on the IMC 2E and the photos in Falconers book for reference. I also used a spare Monogram 2D "tub", the Arii supplied one was just not quite right..
