The general photo layout is Tamiya-Fujimi-Revell from left to right, or top to bottom. If you want opening doors then Tamiya is the way to go. 7 hours ago, peteski said: Wow! Seeing the Revell and Tamiya kit parts next to each other shows just how much softer the Revell's engraving is. Excellent find Silvester. I had forgotten some of the details of the build but it was interesting to see the differences. I now remember opening up the box and being shocked that the body wasn't a single piece. However those pieces fit together perfectly and created a great body. One other painting issue that came to mind(besides having to trim the door edges to account for the thickness of paint) was the side marker lights. The clear red and orange "lights" push through from the back side of the panel. The holes in the body fit the clear parts perfectly without paint. After you paint you have to remove the paint to get them through. The first time I did it, I ruined a good paint job when I pushed one through and the paint chipped off. Just a light scrape with an exacto blade will do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gt fan Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Build the Tamiya kit. It will produce a much nicer model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 I really like that orange color, Tim. What paint is that? It looks somewhat similar to a color that I'll soon be putting on a '40 Willys gasser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
