UPDATE! 

Was really hoping to do final assembly this weekend but after all of Saturday doing yard work and other chores then getting signed up for a kids birthday party today, it wasn’t meant to be. But, I did have the time needed to polish and wax the body, hood and dashboard. I use the same polish and wax on my models that I do on my full size cars from Adam’s. Great company and great product! The abrasives in their polish break down as the polish is worked giving it the equivalent of a multi-grit process in one step. They do make a finishing polish as well which typically is only needed on very dark colors.

With the polish and wax taken care of all that’s left is to have the time to sit down and glue parts together. Maybe next weekend!

Looks amazing Dennis! That colour really pops in the sun. I used the Adams wax and many of their other products on my 1:1 car for years. Their wax is still one of my go to’s for hobby wax,  don’t have their cut wax, but I’m sure it’s top shelf stuff. I will be patient til next weekend to see this beauty come together…
