Will polish it after a few days of curing. The dreaded foiling comes next after the polishing. All the sub-assemblies are pretty much done but I'm re-evaluating my wheel choice. Thanks for looking😄 That is looking great. Really nice shine. How long are you waiting between coats of the Future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My process lately at least for applying the Future is a few light coats drying in front of my small space heater between coats then a couple heavier coats drying a few minutes in front of the heater to set then running a hair dryer over it for a couple minutes. Lastly heavier wet coats drying with the heater and hair dryer until I'm satisfied with the gloss. Process takes maybe a hour. I find using the hair dryer levels it eliminating the orange peel for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills72sj Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 I like the flashy purple you have going on. I just picked up a new Revell snappy kit from HL as I heard the body proportions had high reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Bill, I loke the purple more than I thought I would, The Snap kit you got is a really good and easy kit that builds up nicely.
