Getting so close to having this thing done and I am so ready to be complete and move on to a new project.
Got the black overspray touched up and the body parts in clear. Here, the clear is a little orange peel like but there's enough clear on it for me to wet sand and polish it out nicely.
Polishing was completed over a two day period. The black details like headlight areas, top of the dash, etc., were painted and the decals are going on.
All the decals were applied and sliced along the appropriate panel lines and openings. I didn't have any issues with the decals being brittle or cracking. The only issue I had was a small area of decal that was damaged on the decal sheet and will require a touch up on the body. With all the parts polished and all the decals on, final assembly of the body was started.
I was trying really hard to have it completed for a model show that was held on Saturday 11/15. I didn't quite get the model finished but I was 99% there and took it to the show anyway. It was lacking side windows, headlight covers, side mirrors, windshield wiper and exhaust tips. Here's my very bad and out of focus photo of the model displayed at the show.
I will get the model 100% completed this weekend and the next set of photos will be of a completed model.
