Nice. A sharper blade would help you foiling efforts. Also, you missed the mold parting lines on the body.

Nice 56! Good colors, and I like the custom taillights. I just started using BMF a year or so ago, and I quickly learned that you must take your time trimming the foil. My knife wants to wander if I go too fast.

Blue radiator hose?

Decent model, but the comments are accurate ~ untreated mold lines, BMF missing from windshield & vent window frames, and trunk emblem upside down. Fix those things and she's nice!

That Vicky looks really nice- I like the very different color scheme. It's like vanilla ice cream with whipped cream on top. I have found that when I use BMF on a body with trim that's not very distinct, it helps to scribe around the trim with a sharp Xacto blade before any paint goes on. This yields a more defined line on which to trim the BMF, once it's applied and burnished. And the big thing with using BMF is to use a brand new blade. Oh, yeah- don't rush the application!
