Haubenschild Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Nothing much to say , I got this kit today and I will be building the white version , all comments are welcome I started off by gluing the front end and the rear panel on , the spoiler wont fit , so I am still figuring out what to do with the spoiler , but hopefully I will get it to fit nicley. After that I masked off the body and sprayed the engine bay semi gloss black , I got a little overspray , but that will be removed when I sand the body Edited February 15, 2012 by Haubenschild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rear spoiler won't fit correctly? Where will it not line up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haubenschild Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 The rear spoiler won't fit correctly? Where will it not line up? The problem has been solved , I just had to do a little sanding on the edges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmike Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Looks like you you are off to a good start! Sometimes you have to do alittle sanding or trimming on some parts to get them to fit properly onsome of these older kits. Kepp up the good work!

DANB Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Im actually keen to see how this turns out, i wanted to do a late 60s/early 70s muscle car in white for one of my next models but im abit worried at how it will turn out haha, you don't see too many Modellers doing white cars that's for sure.
