Kelly Posted Thursday at 10:46 PM Posted Thursday at 10:46 PM So being my 3rd build, I ran into a few issues. Last one was the windshield. It’s clearly visible (pun intended) during final assembly. I found this build to be a great learning experience. Also tried my hand at foil for the window trim I painted it with spray paint using Tamiya metallic blue for the body and undercarriage Tamiya French blue for the interior. Assortment of colors from Tamiya and Testors to detail the interior, engine and engine compartment also chassis, suspension, etc. Last but not least, I thank everyone on this forum who guided me along with advice, tips and Wisdom. Much Respect. I found this build “was practice for my next build. Also I found that I more Patience!!! All your words! So thanks again for looking in. Happy 😃 Holidays Kelly 19

STU111 Posted Friday at 02:13 AM Posted Friday at 02:13 AM G’day Kelly, nicely done Chevelle you have there. 👍🏻 What particular shade of Tamiya spray did you use on the body? Again, well done on this one.

FYI Thank you I used that and after 1 1/2 hours I picked up the body and the part slid down to the headliner hence left some residue Guess it didn’t dry

With a toothpick you should be able to clean that up.
