- This is the first time I have built this scale before so it was a real model adventure. I know I did a few thing the hard way but that is how I learn. Might not be show class but it turned out nice. At least I think so. Let me know what you think but you don't have to be mean.
I love it looks great 👍 Thanks for letting us see it!!!!
Thanks for the kind comment it was a fun build and scary too.
I think you did great. It's a killer looking kit. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you means a lot for a nice comment.
Totally DIG your build!, J.J. was my hero when i was a kid alog with Tom Mongoose" "McEwen ,THANK YOU for posting!
Thank you glad you liked it. I was happy the way it turned out too.
Good job
Like it was said Floor Polish for a finish does wonders. Also Hodge Podge is great for window installation. It dries quickly and clear. Nice job overall.
Beautiful model and great detail. Learned some cool hacks, and enjoyed the video.
I wouldn't say that's an amateur build, you're underrating yourself! However I would have knocked down the orange peel surface with polishing sheets and use polishing compound for a glass like finish! Good build though!
Thanks for the praise. I will keep that in mind on my next build.
Clear pieces... use pledge floor wax . Also use on painted surfaces
That you are using orange tube glue is what blows my mind.
Well I am old school and I know how to work it. I did go with super glue in a few places. But I also accept recommendations for other types of glue too. So toss a few my way I have a lot of models to build.
I use 0.015 in brass wire in the vinyl tubing. Keeps tubing from kinking.
Where is the best place to get that size wire?
Sorry, I meant 0.020 diameter brass wire. It works inside Tamiya tubing.
Any hobby store ( on or off line ) should have this. Comes in a 5 pack I think each piece about 12 inches long.
I use the brass wire for 1/24 valve stems. I think 0.025 inch for 1/16 scale.
I would give that body a coat of pledge clear floor wax.
Cool I will have to give that a try.
I turned this kit into a working drag slot car.
Holy crap you have pictures?
