Wow! Kenny! That is one mean lookin' little Willys! Love the colour combo and engine detailing. Job well done sir!

[Dr. Cranky]

Beautiful job on the paint, the colors, the details, it's a STANDOUT model. Congrats.

You made the same mistake that 99% of people who build a '41 Willys make. That raised lip around the windshield represents the black rubber gasket around the glass. It is not supposed to be clear.

I like the color combo and the wheels.

[rmvw guy]

[Joker]

WOW ! that's a screamer !

I like it . Love the colors and the wheels to.Good thing you pointed that out Harry ,I'm going to redo a glue bomb of one of these soon and I'd prolly would have left it clear as well.

He did say it was only 99% done

Great tip on the windshield, I've seen that on other models and never painted it. Now I know

[Brizio]

Very nice I like the two tone paint.

[Danno]

Sweet.

Thanks for the comments. I couldn't of built this without this site and all the other great models. This is the best model forum!

[Floridian]

What should I use to polish the clear out? Wax?

[crazyjim]

You need some real fine grit sandpaper. I think the kits start at around 3000 grit and get progressively finer to 12000 grit. Then take some Novus #2 and rub it out. Some people use Meguiers Scratch X instead of Novus. When it's all SHINY :) , finish it off with a nice coat of The Treatment Model Car Wax.
