First model ever

This is the first model that I have ever built. Please give any and all advise. I do have one question for the people that put multiple coats of paint on their car. What do you do to get the window to fit right. When it came to put the windows in they just did not want to go becasue of the multiple coat of paint.

hey!! good job:bigthumb:

That's a really nice first model.

Welcome. your model looks good!!! :)

Your model is great!!! As for the paint ?, Use thin coats until you get the coverage you need, don't overdo it.:smile:

test fit the windows before painting. If it seems a little snug, or has a tiny bit of space, sand it down, this way, the thickness of the paint doesnt affect it.

Mother Fucking Awesome! :tongue:

First model, are you telling the truth! :thefinger

You should've seen my 1st model it was Horrible

Dam I'm so Jealous, I want to see what your next work will look like, you'll only get better, imagine that! :eek:

Yes it is my first model. I had printed out all of the FAQ's and read them before I even started. So I guess I owe a Thanks to all who had a hand in the FAQ's.

Very Very nice for a 1st build, wish I had found AF years ago.

damn nice

Looks great. You should be proud of your decaling abilities especially.
