Some more progress from last year:
I worked on making some corrections on the body. Some shapes were wrong.
Put some primer on to see where I'm at. Some more sanding, filling, sanding etc. needed.
Did some work on the oversized front bumpers.
Some more corrections, this really annoys me as it ruins the appearence.
Looks more like an Escort now.
Mock-up with bumpers. There's something wrong with the front end and the trunk that ruins the proportions. I will work on that.
The rear lights has very poor fitment, so I added some styrene to try and make it better.
The front window has a very odd shape and it sits a bit too low. I sanded it down and did some scratchbuilding
I need to make new windows since the kit ones don't fit now. But the fitment was bad even before my modifications
. The stock windows sits to deep and makes the finished model look more like a toy.
