Do you recall any abberations when using Tamiya gloss clear? My roadster went in the pond yesterday. 😡

Sorry to hear about your roadster woes Jim.😳 I can’t recall what I last used the Tamiya clear on? I believe it is quite hot also.

I’ve been adding some of the details to this one. And I am finally getting the wheels permanently attached.

Nice work!. I did a '57 many moons ago. Now I am pondering the idea of doing another, but to higher standards. One thing I may try would be making the tailgate closer to vertical to look more like the regular station wagon.

Also like the trick for getting the wheels straight. Live and learn...

I use 5 minute epoxy to mount them solid. The rears are parallel and the fronts have a bit of “toe-in”.

Beautiful color Greg, looking forward too the finished product!
