Monty Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I've had the MPC-derived AMT 1974 Plymouth GTX kit sitting on my to-be-built-eventually shelf, but I'm trying to find a way to make it look more realistic. The headlights on these kits are molded in with the bezels, so I was wondering if someone offered hole saws for modelers that would allow me to make a thin cut around the outside of the headlight, creating a slight bit of separation between it and the surrounding bezel, just like on real cars. If nothing else, it would allow me to cut all the way through and replace these with a better reflector bucket/clear lens combination. Thoughts?
Joker Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Hey Monty.. I'm working on a AMT '63 Galaxie and I found one being worked on over at Koolest Kruizers forum. If you don't know french (I don't) don't worry. The technique is to drill out the head light and finish with a round file aka rat tail. Here's the link..http://www.koolestkruzers.com/t1127-1963-ford-galaxie-500?highlight=galaxie Hope it helps.
