scootsmgoots Posted April 22 Posted April 22 I picked this kit up off Amazon, and really enjoyed building it. I’m happiest with the interior. I picked up some flocking powder for cheap and am very happy with how it turned out. One thing I struggled with was the front and rear bumpers. I messed up the front windshield also, so ended up pulling it and tossing it out. Any tips to make installing windshields and back windows would be appreciated. 5
STU111 Posted April 25 Posted April 25 Hi Scott, regards windows in model cars, well, it’s my least favourite part of a build. Whenever I sit at the dining table with a painted body and a clear sprue, the kids scurry off to their rooms and the dog hides behind the couch, because they know what’s coming. Seriously, it’s not quite that bad. It’s been somewhat easier since I started using clear glue.l put a blob of this on a post it note and use a toothpick to apply it to the inside of the car body where the window contacts. If you get some on the glass, you can wipe it off with a damp cotton bud while still wet. And it dries clear. I leave the body upside down until the glue dries. Hope this is helpful. Cheers, Stuart.👍🏻
