Thats so sweet, building it for your cousin.
Keep up the good work.

make sure you cut the front grill from the bumper, and paste it inside. I have the same problem with the Fabulous Estima kit.

[tpliquid]

i had to cut the grill and the bumper off to fit the veilside kit on. the estima is called the previa in the US.

what do you mean "claybar"? :?:?

[swollen]

A claybar shouldn't be necessary as there isn't any contamanents in the paint...ie bird droppings, raildust, environmental fallout, etc.

"Claybar" is used in 1:1 car detailing/cleaning. It's used to remove contaminants from paint, as mentioned above.

Here is a link the the Type i used when i worked in a detail shop.

definately would not have much of a use in modeling.

So, clay bar-ing is not necessary? Okay coool. Thanks guys.

[nis.k.a.]

Not unless it's been driven a couple thousand miles...

On a side note, I just claybar'd my real car. Anyone wondering about Meguiars NXT wax for their 1:1....it's awesome stuff.

[youngdrifter_x]

Yes! The NXT is nice. Seems after I waxed my car with it...more people where looking at it...hahaha. I'm going to try it on the model when i'm done with the clear coat

[youngdrifter_x]

All I need to do is apply decals and rear Lights.
