Where are the door handles?

Next time, you might want to try and add foil to the chrome trim. It looks kind of odd that all the chrome trim around the windows and the wipers and sun visors are all painted body color.

The handles fell off didnt get a chance to put them back on. As for the bmf i used it once years ago and it didnt work out right. The color was based on a photo of one that i found with all trim painted. I thought about redoing it

I'm working on this same kit, in a similar color even!

I'd say that open trunk needs some 'stuff' in it... maybe a cooler or a spare tire. The best part about opening a trunk is putting stuff back there!

Bare Metal Foil has a shelf life. Order some direct from the manufacturer for best results. It is tricky to use, and takes practice. You just can't build a classic car without it.

No BMF All shaved in Flat Black!

BMF takes a little practice, but it's nothing you can't do. Give it another try... you'll get the hang of it, and you'll love the way your models look.

[Greg Pugh]

It takes a little while to get comfortable with but it's definitely one of those things you'll question how you ever made it without it once you're up and going. It makes or breaks a model.

Yikes!! That blue and red is a sensory clash of the first order!
