sak Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 You planning to wetsand the paint on the emblems? Revealing the bare metal foil underneath? If so put two layers of foil. Doesn't take much to burn thru the foil back down to bare plastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mopar - D Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Jeff I use a tooth pick soaked with lacquer thinner to clean off the paint very carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 I broke out the air brush this morning and sprayed on the Lemon Twist and also some white on the interior. Started cleaning emblems with the tooth pick. It's amazing how the pictures bring out what you missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnwildpunk Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 First off I say no center console if you can find one throw in a bench seat. Great job so far love the color. How does this kit compare to the monogram 70 R.R.? Thanks and beep beep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopar - D Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Here's a sample of what's to come. Thanks for the comments. Dave I've decided to not use the center console and as far as how it compares to the Monogram first this is 1/25 scale and the old JoHan body's just have very good detail to them. The rest of the kit is old tool with a lot of the details molded in instead of separated like new kits. This owner would of added the buckets and magnum wheels on the option list.

FASTBACK340 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Here is my 1000 post with today's updates. I finished wiring the engine and clear coated. I'm building an Orange one right now. It's a *little* bigger than yours. All kidding aside, nice color combination. The Yellow with White interior is really going to stand out. Nice job!
