airea Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Hello, It took six months to finish this kit. This is a nice one. Not as good as Tamiya; plastic is a little thick, clear parts are like armor glass, chrome parts have some flash, rear window has a big gap, etc. But all in all it is an enjoyable kit. I removed chrome and painted with Alclad, which is a lot better than the kit chromes. For the first time, I used BMF and it was very difficult especially around windows. I guess it would have been better if I had used alclad for the windows too. Thanks for viewing.. salih 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Wow! That looks beautiful. I used to love driving these old Hornets. No where near as wobbly as the Chevys and Fords from the same era. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spruecutter Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Very nicely done and you have done a great job with the Bare Metal Foil. I never like using the stuff myself - I always find it tears so easily even when using a brand new blade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Awesome work! Smoothest paint I've seen in a good long time. Do you have any secrets you would care to impart to mere mortals such as myself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
