Thanks, guys! This is going to be a fairly quick build (I hope), just planning to add some of the details left out of the original kit and correct a few of the glossed over spots as well. One of the first things I always try to get out of the way is the body and paint, I learned the hard way the there's no point to building all the chassis, engines and interiors if you FUBAR the paint. SO, I sanded seam lines and mold marks most of the afternoon. :frantic Not a very exciting update, but a necessary evil none the less. I also took the time to open the kit grille, I feel that adds much needed realism to the front end. Here's how I do it...
The kit part
I then use the Dremel with a sanding drum to knock off the thickness of the grille (be easy with it)
When you start seeing holes open up, switch to a coarse file or sanding stick and open 'er up.
I finish sand mine to get rid of the file marks and scratches, makes it easier to paint later.
Should start looking like this pretty quick.
Best of all, you'll be able to see the radiator through the grille when you're done.
More fun to come, keep checking back.
