The foil is looking good. During the body prep stage (before paint), it helps if you scribe around the window trims. Gives a clean line to follow with the knife blade during foiling. On some kits it's necessary, when the window trim is poorly (or not at all) defined.

Thanks.

Got the foil finished. Looks ok but could be much better, just didn't smooth out like I would like and there were places on the well wheels it would not stick, had to touch it up with some silver paint. Also put on a couple coats of Revive It floor poilsh, but it's not glossing up like it should, I'll probably put some more on it.

Ok, just got to get the decals on and I'm calling it done. I lost the passenger side mirror and the driver's side rear window fell out while I was getting the frame and body together. Not going to take it back apart to put it back in. Typical stuff for me when I'm finishing a build.  All in all I think it came out ok, but there's always room for improvement. I'll put up some photos under glass after I get the decals on.

Now that's a color I have not seen on a Duster.

My uncle had one, hated the color, and had his brother spray it beige/tan! Looked OK, with the black vinyl top and all, but there was nothing wrong with the bright green! I loved it.

Sweet! I agree you defiantly need to dull the wheels down a bit.

Defiantly?

Lock him up, he's so reckless!
