Funkychiken Posted January 20, 2018 Author Posted January 20, 2018 Making more progress on this one: Windows polished, but look more scuffed than polished! I painted the window surrounds by masking and hand painting section-by-section and started to assemble the body. The main issue was the fit of the Glass into the body, was very poor, so had to hold it in with clamps whilst the PVA set, but this damaged some of the C pillar paint finish. But it's relatively minor, I'm not going to fix it! Still struggling with the decals, the number plate decals split when trying to coax them into place, I'm getting worried now, I've only ever once had issues with decals, but now my last three model sets have all had issues...
Funkychiken Posted March 20, 2018 Author Posted March 20, 2018 99% done on this, the only remaining task is the Hartge Stripes... Next post will be in the finished section! The plastic wipers got melted with me trying to make them conform to the shape of the windscreen, so I've made up some PE ones, they turned out OK. The colour combination of the turquoise interior with green exterior does not work so well, but wanted to do something different...
Monty Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Way to persevere despite the obstacles. This is turning out nicely. The Humbrol blue you used on the interior looks great. Would you mind telling me what # it is?

Rider Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 Really clean looking build. Nice touch with the PE wipers.
