Let's try this again.

As a lot of you know I just got back into modeling.

I am struggling with getting that one great model.

I just finished a 1949 Ford and I am not happy with it. But I don't know for sure where to start correcting it.

I am posting this next model strictly as an incentive to do a better job on this one than those previously done.

I call it the embarrassment factor.

Wish me luck and if there are any issues with this kit please let me know.

Thank you, all of you are an inspiration to me.

This kit was the second model I finished, It goes together realy well I think. I used the hood scoop from a 69 vette, other than that pretty much out of the box, with some home grown plug wires. You'll do great I'm sure.

Hey man don't be too hard on yourself, just enjoy the hobby, everything comes with time, and in this Hobby most definitely Patience . I see that you have said that you DON'T know where to start correcting, so I will ask you what it is that you DO want to correct, Replace all of your Don'ts, Can'ts, Can Not's, Buts, with "I Want", you maybe surprised at the result. Good luck

I think it's cool that you are trying seriously to improve your modeling skills. If it takes the "embarrassment factor" to do so, then so be it.

This kit is one of the first things I built after getting back into the hobby and I thought it was great. I recall everything going together easily. I experimented with several things on this kit: I hollowed out the molded-in door handles; split the front bench seat; added seat belts and engine wiring; for reasons I can't recall, I removed the side trim (I think I couldn't bear to try BMFing it again); and used a two-tone paint job with my own special mix of green. Anyway, it presented no real modeling challenges and built my own modeler's self-esteem considerably. Good luck with the project.

Defiantly a great kit to do well on. You can do it Donald, or do you prefer Don?
