Starliner Kustoms Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 It's been a while since I've posted mainly due to lack of time but I did manage to finish a car this year for NNL East. Mainly a curbside and basically an out-of-box build. The only things that were parts box finds were the wheels. I painted the one-inch whites with a compass. I sprayed the body with Testors one coat Electric Pink. The interior was kept simple by painting white pearl with silver inserts. I had fun with the build but I found a lot of fit issues with the body. Happy modeling everyone and thanks for looking.

trogdor Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I like the addition of the interior lights in the back. That's a nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starliner Kustoms Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 I haven't built mine yet. What body issues did you encounter? Yours looks great, BTW. Well in test fitting everything the chassis fit perfect even with out temp tacking. Once everything was painted...Nothing fit right. frame twisted. (?????) and the seat pan didn't fit all the way up into the body. I had to tweak a few things like the dash and windshield. It didn't take long but, I may have been the cause of the issues. I was in a hurry and you know how that works out. LOL Bernie Gilbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
