dmthamade Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Hello!! New guy checking how to post pics and adding a completed build. Recently finished this kit. Have to say, there are a LOT of inaccuracies and fit issues with this kit, but it is from real old molds. Not OOB, did change the stance a bit and didn't do any plumbing. This is the most recent release with updated wheels/tires and decals. Don 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRiN Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 looking mighty fine. Looks like you got rid of a lot of the plating? Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Except for the wheels, I deplated everything. All the plated parts had a lot of flashing and fit was poor, so it was a choice of shiny but poor fit, or no seams and no shine. I need to find an alternative to painting parts that should be chromed or highly polished. Lots to learn after 30+ years of flat aircraft finishes.

bbowser Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 That looks great! Real race cars don't have much chrome anyway, go not show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
