Yeah, something like that is out of my pay grade ?

Got a little bench time in on the 41.  I thought I would put a piece of bmf on the windshield and cut around it then spray paint the trim rubber black.  That part worked out but when I peeled the bmf off the glass the glue stayed.  Had a heck of a time getting that off.  Also got the headlight, Grille, and taillights installed plus the bmf on the side trim and hood.

It is a shame they sold E Town off, I really liked that track.

Hey Bob, that is looking really good! ?

Just a suggestion, try Tamiya masking tape next time. I have run into the same thing with BMF. With the Tamiya tape just run a tooth pick around the edge that you will be trimming. The results are as good as with BMF and the adhesive is not as tacky. ?

Like the paint color and finish.
