Nitrozilla Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) She's ready to tear up the streets of Gotham. This has been a really fun build despite snap related issues. I wanted to do the cockpit window trim in BMF, but went with hand painted silver instead. Still have a little clean up to do. BTW, the coffee cup is a coincidence. Thanx for looking.

Harry P. Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The painted window trim looks very good, but just out of curiosity... why did you decide not to use foil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrozilla Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 The painted window trim looks very good, but just out of curiosity... why did you decide not to use foil? Hi Harry. It's a matter of budget vs. time. The piece of BMF I have to work with is 3" X 4". It might not have made enough strips to finish and I can't afford more until after the 1st of the month. As far as time goes, I needed to finish this for confidence purposes after the Hawaiian Disaster. I could have said that since I burnished the dash to knock down glare that I should do the same for the windshield, but the truth will have to suffice.

Nitrozilla Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Real nice, did you use the decals of the kit for the red stripes ?? Sorry to disappoint, but they were on it already. I believe the glue kit has the decal stripes. Carl & Scott, thanks for commenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carcrazy19 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 You did a great job on this..Nice build. Been thinking about picking one up over all how was the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrozilla Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Anthony, thanks for the nice words. Overall, the kit was a breeze with "snap related issues" being the only downside. Semi-easily fixed. The dash gave me the biggest fit because it locks in the side panels. Let's just say I used a lot of Super Glue where you might maybe not oughta have to. That only slowed down build time. It did nothing to detract from the joy of finally having this icon in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
