Re: Alpine A110 1/24 - Acropolis 1970

Another update on this little beauty...
First of all, I decide to cut the windows handles, and I plan make it for scratch...




Also, I add a plastic sheet in open door's connection point, to hide the gap.


The its time for the paint job... I use Tamiya TS-56 straight for the can. Not the best result, cause the 30-40 Celsius in Greece, during the summer. I stored it


and meanwhile I start to "play" with the decals for 1970 Acropolis. Not perfect, but wife of my friend and AF member Est1976 make for me a new better set, which I print and test soon. For now, my first attempt to make decals...


Some days after paint-job, I start to polish the body... I think the Alpine body is quite difficult to polish, cause of many edges. Here the (not perfect ) result...








Hope you like it... Comments and criticism are welcome.
Thanks for your time.
