Ajay Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Hi all, Made a start on this one - usual story for me - lowered with whitewalls !. The interior's Tamiya Neutral & Sky grey. The bodies been cleaned up by removing the front fender (and boy did I take a few attempts to get the crease in the front of the fender) and rocker panel trims together with the rear light unit, slightly modified rear fender trim and removal of the door handles. A couple of pics of the body sprayed up in Coral Blue from Zero is plus 1k clear - the body needs polishing out. Thanks for looking Regards Andy
Deathgoblin Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Hey, I did mine in almost exactly that color. I need to post that one. Looks really nice!
Shardik Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 Nice color and nice paint. I think it would look great with an ivory roof.
squirrel886 Posted June 11, 2014 Posted June 11, 2014 .......and a head's up, the windshield is a pain the buttocks to install.
Ajay Posted July 20, 2014 Author Posted July 20, 2014 Thanks for the comments guys, just a brief update with pics of the body after polishing, BMF trim and front & rear glass installed. There doesn't seem to be much of a contact area on the rear side windows so I havn't plucked up the courage to do those yet - may use acetate instead. Also got round to putting the interior together and built the engine. Thanks for looking Regards Andy PS/ sorry for poor pics

I was challenged by the front vent windows, but looks like you got those in without problems. As for the rear quarter windows, I recommend you tape them in place from the inside, and then flow Testors Clear Window cement along the edges of the window from the inside. Takes about a day to dry solidly but seems to be pretty robust when dry. It kind of works by capillary action and seems to leave a clear joint that cannot be seen from the outside of the model. Best regards...TIM PS - that engine is SHARP! TB
Tom Geiger Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Very nice work. I do need to pull mine out. I have a plan that's been singing in my head. Must stop the voices!
Shardik Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 This is shaping up quite nicely. The interior is absolutely stunning; you have a good eye for color combinations.
Lownslow Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Looks like i wasnt the only one who thought that piece of trim didnt belong there lol
slusher Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 Very nice progress. Everything looks great so far..
