It's done!

Bob Downie's final assembly advice came at just the right time -- a little sanding helped the body drop down properly over the interior/chassis. And as I was warned, the self-adhesive chrome strips didn't stick like they were supposed to, so I replaced them with thin strips of Bare-Metal Foil.

A full how-to feature article on this model is scheduled to appear in the December, 2003 issue of FineScale Modeler.

Hope you like it!

Very nice results there! Glad I was able to help, I wish I had known of those tricks (body to interior)when I built mine...which was immediately after it's intro.

Un-freakin-believable. :eek:

It looks amazing. Your paint colors are spot on. I'm beginning to love the classics more than the current generation of cars.

Great work :bigthumb:

Glad you like it!

The D-type is a very nice cast-resin kit from Fisher Model & Pattern:
