Mj-Styro Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Seeing how everyone is building one these days! i decided to give it a go as well! AND YIKES!!! you aint kiddin about the plastic! it started to etch!!! oh my but not to badly! so i let it dry alittle bit longer and gave it a thicker coat of paint and to my suprise it worked!!! then followed by clear!! NOthing fancy! just a basic box stock build!( i think i can) except for the Boss 302 hood and what will be under the hood........ Two pics! one with flash one with out....

Wildrice Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Good start MJ. You will like building it. A fun kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Looks good MJ! A couple caveats............ when building it you may have to file out a "U" shape in the front of the inner fenders to make clearance for the headlight buckets. This'll save a headache trying to fit the chassis inside. Also, you may have to file down the "B" pillars on the interior panels, otherwise the car may end up sitting too high. Yup, I strongly urge anyone building Revell's kits made from 2004 to present...........you've GOT to seal the plastic!! Whether you use Future, BIN or whatever, it's an absolute MUST if you're gonna use automotive paints! :!: :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
