beeRS Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Great progress. I would never have thought of doing the chrome window trim that way, but once the masking is in place it must be much less hassle than BMF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMF is a pain to use on kits that don't have very defined trims such as this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertD Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Your doing a fantastic job on a beautiful car. I too have this kit in the stash and it's good to see it come together with no big issues. When I do mine I'll try your method for the chrome trim. Thanks for the great tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italianhorses Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I would shoot some flat clear over those seats. Looks great otherwise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldcarfan27 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I'm liking all the different shades and sheens representing the many textures of each part. Very nicely detailed. Can't wait to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZTony8 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 You're fortunate to be able to install the chassis into the body with the front valance fitted on the body. I have the curbside version of the GTS and it can't be done that way as the chassis is molded completely differently and can't be installed after the valance panel is attached to the body. So you end up with a seam where the parts meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
