Brudda Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Since I am painting this , I am filling the pin marks. I am sanding the seam lines and repainting the parts that I sand. These steps are not necessary as the kit is fantastic. Just going a little step further on this build. I painted a agora cobra 427 from the blue to a red. The blue paint on the cobra is really good, but just wanted a change from everyone else’s 427 cobra. Same here on the Gullwing. Filled the pin marks and primed. Black paint next week.

Brudda Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 Pack one is complete. One side of the engine. Tire and wheel , steering wheel and dash. Grill. Pretty detailed. And a very nice chrome. What I have noticed is that the screws are easier to screw in. Very nice . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brudda Posted August 14, 2023 Author Share Posted August 14, 2023 The dash and the hub cap should be painted black, but for now I’m leaving it to see if the contrast looks good on the black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramy, hello, I do not have the necessary etched parts for that. I am not painting the hub caps , will probably leave them silver although they are supposed to be the color of the car. The dash as well. But if it does not look right I will mask the hubcaps and custom etch a 300 sl emblem for the dash. Alot of work but will be worth it.

Brudda Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Painted the hood. Came out very nice. Will probably cut and buff the hood. The black and the color of the interior will look super. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brudda Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Keramh, I’m sorry, I just realized what you are talking about. I have pics and am going to try to remove them. If not Mark A said he is going to look into getting another set of emblems. If he does I will try to get you a set also. But for now I’m going to try to remove them without destroying them. Keep you updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brudda Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Have to fill and straighten out some of the body panels for the black paint. The silver is pretty sweet. Black with a red interior will be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keramh Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Hello, before you paint the body you should fill the gap at the rear below the triangular window, the original has no gap here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes keramh, I am going to fill that and fill the eyebrows over the wheel wells. I will post pics of the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keramh Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 yes, you can also putty on them, but there were also some with raised eyebrows, they had piping in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brudda Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 Ok prepping the body. Superglued the eyebrows and roof to quarter panel. Sanded with 180. Next will be the putty. This is my favorite step to building models. Bodywork and paint. The superglue with activator is just insurance that the putty will not crack out.
