Zippi Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 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. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
