So I had this really kewl idea for my Skyline and was doing very good on my model, I even posted some pictures, well things change....
First I broke the headlight cover-no problem glue it and paint the covers black-kewl custom look.
Second I goofed up the painting inside the windshield-no problem I used CSC and it came off.
Third one of the tires came off and in the process of tring to get the wheel out of the peg I broke the pin!-ugh gule and hope it stays put.
Forth I #$%! up the carbon fiber decal on the hood and in the process of trying to get it off I screwed up the paint job. So I soked the whole car in CSC and now I have a white car again-agh!!
Fifth - I lost a tail light!! Can't find it anywhere??!!!
So now what? I don't have anymore HOK paint to reproduce the paint job I was doing so now the inside, tailfin and mirrors are painted in a color that either will have to be striped and repaint to match a NEW color on the body OR I truck it 50 miles and spend $$$ to get some more paint. I don't know what to do about the taillight-maybe taillight covers??
I can't even look at it right now!!

no, buy a new kit
your skyline is cursed :(
OR
you COULD, for the taillight, take one of those colored plastic lighters, and cut and shape into a light.... plane modelers do that all the time
as for paint... better CSC everything :(
