Hi guys.
Finally I have some wip pics for ya. I had to put the kit away for a while. The paintjob has been quite an ordeal. There are a few blemishes in the paintjob(To put it mildly) I have desided to do no more about it. No more stripping and repainting.
This is my first attempt at using BMF. Have made quite a few errors, but I am fairly pleased with it so far.

Actually, I havent quite finished with the stripping/repainting thing. I finished the hood weeks ago and put it in my drawer, for safe keeping. I wanted to have the hood in the update pics, but for some reason, the paintjob have crackled. Have to strip and repaint If more of the paintjob starts to crack, this will probably be the start of my first junkyard dio.





Any comments/questions welcome

Thanks Robert and Murphy. I must admit, I have been quite selective with the images. Have chosen those that don't show where I burnt trough the paintjob

I swear I burn through EVERY paintjob in all my buffings. I buff, I repair paint, I buff, I repair paint...eventually, I have enough paint on the body that it blends all the scripts in...but it's smooth!
