Project Extreamliner

[spad007]

+ The kit came was opened box only missing head light lenses.(around $22 bucks all in)

+ The left front fender is broken from poureing tab.

+ The whole point was the fenders so am not too happy about that.

the only other resin kit i did was 20 years ago a plane mod.

it was much higher quality. 2 seat thud WW and big as! wings on martin recon.

oh and some "N" gage stuff

+ The wheels this kit comes with don't get it for me as i don't feel

like trying to polish them then sending them to be Chromed.

+ I have some plastic dub's from my 50 Ford pu that will work.

+ The bumper is way off the bottom rail is too small at one end.

and the casting is way rough..

+ If i build this; 'As is'... Any die cast models will look nicer in any scale.

yes my goal is to look as good as any Die cast car if not better.

+ A scrach built bumper will have to be made from three flat bars.

+ So i might use the fenders on my planed scratch build COE instead.

+ You resin guys work wonders my hat is off to you.

The Sharpie marks are mine so i don't loose my place.

WOW I had no idea. I have the diecast and it is a totally different story. It's nice. None of those problems. I'm glad I bought the resin kit just for the fenders ( didn't want to carve on diecast parts)

They'll still look good on your Cord COE.

I like the parts box you chose.One thing about resin,you always get sanding practice in.
