rob1957 Posted November 18, 2020 Posted November 18, 2020 Here is our latest build . Had major problems with decals tearing . This led to stripping the car down and starting over . Tom from PA was kind enough to mail us another set . After experimenting with a decal on scrap plastic we had the same issue . This was after some Microscale Decal Film . Maybe it's something in our water . Onward and upward .
rob1957 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Posted November 18, 2020 We stripped the chrome from the wheels , drilled out the holes and applied Molotov Liquid Chrome after spraying wheels with Tamiya Gray Primer , to try and get a brushed aluminum look . Nice tires with this kit . 1
rob1957 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Posted November 18, 2020 Our colour was Tamiya X-14 , Sky Blue . Hood had a minor warp in it .
rob1957 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Posted November 18, 2020 Engine view with some details . I lost the clear washer fluid jug so had to improvise .
rob1957 Posted November 18, 2020 Author Posted November 18, 2020 Engine view from other side . Except for our troubles with the decals this was a fun kit to build .
doorsovdoon Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 Nice. Good job on the wheels and the engine bay is nicely detailed.
rob1957 Posted November 20, 2020 Author Posted November 20, 2020 Thank You for the feedback everyone . I have a bit of work to do on paint finishes for future builds . Maybe should have applied 1 more coat of paint on this build . Was there a reason companys got away from the old style interior tub and now have the 2 interior side panels/ floor pan/rear seat/dash-board combo ?
rob1957 Posted December 13, 2020 Author Posted December 13, 2020 Thanks everyone . I wish I could have filed the seam lines in the grooves on the top of the radiator a bit better but I don't have a small enough square file that could have done that . And I would have liked to have found a front bench seat rather than the buckets . As way back -when, I owned a 340 Duster , front bench , automatic on the column . No power steering , rubber floor matting . Red paint , white stripes , had it re-painted without the stripes . Headers to top it off . Looked like a real sleeper . Fast little car .
