Not very long about 10min. each light, it was pretty easy, I had a sharp blade so it was easy, just run accross the line and it deepins it and just cuts through.

Charles, do the covers fit on with a nice gap, or is it too wide? I did the same for my Trueno, and now it needs some styrene.

BTW, glad to see you progressing.

I was bored last night and took a pic of the model with some Aoshima Advan RG's just stuck under the chassis.

To HONOTURTLE: yes there is a gap but it isnt that big its about 1 MM gap and thats not that bad.

Finally got some time to work on the body. I just finished the rear bumper. It took me about 1 1/2 hours since it was really hard to cut out the exhaust opening and make both sides even and look nice, i also kept messing up on the exhaust opening like 5 times... But now finally got it the way i want. BTW this body kit is from INGS. Tell me what you guys think.











Thank God for Evergreen Styrene!

Looks good. I really like your body kit. If there is a gap around the headlamp covers, take some of that Evergreen styrene and cut it into a thin strip, and bend and glue it around the rear three edges of the cover and trim & sand when dry. For the best results, glue the back edge first, wait for it to dry, then do the two side edges. That will allow a strong bond to form, keeping it from lifting later. But you probably know all this.... your skills are getting mad.
