sobpinstriping Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hello again. I just finished this last night. I flocked the interior, and filled in the seam on the taillight surround. the color is tamyia racing blue which i polished and covered with future (It is much shiner in real life). After I took the pics I noticed that their is a gap at the grill. Right after I finished it I went to show it to my girlfriend and didn't realize I had some glue on my hand and I put a couple of glue smudges on the driver side:angry: I had a lot of fun with this kit even though I messed up on a few things. comments are always welcomed cheers mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scummy Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 G,day mate , that is sooooo cool and an old vintage kit too that you didnt see finished many times when it was available all those years ago. I like the flock interior it looks great . it looks like theres a build up of glue inside of the headlights ? next time use a little of wood glue as it dries clear or a small wipe of silastic as it dries clear also . But all up thats a great example of this old vintage kit you did a good job of it ,cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlzrocks Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Looks pretty good Matt! Nice job on the back end fill...that part makes it look much smoother than not filling that seam! I Love the flocking! What did you use for it? For the bubble tops, try dipping the canopy in Future and letting it dry. It makes the glass look thinner and clearer!

I have gone back and fixed a few things that I saw from the pics, I will try to get around to taking new pics. I can't remember the brand of flocking, next time I'm at the hobby shop I will look. thanks guys! cheers mat P.S. it's Mat with one T Edited November 6, 2010 by sobpinstriping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never have known it because I didn't see your post, but whenever anyone reports a post, I get an automatic email telling me that someone reported a post. Most of the time people report a post because somebody said something they shouldn't have, but in this case a very "spelling aware" forum member called you out!
