• Finished PICs Why, why, why at the last possible minute does something have to go wrong. Superglue on the grill and front bumper somehow ends up on the palm of my hand and then onto the roof. I don't think I am even going to try to fit it.
  • Very nice colors! The red pinstripes are the perfect touch! *NM*
    • It's the Foose kit and those are kit decals. I thought they were perfect for that color. *NM*
  • Really nice! The pinstripes work well with the body color. Speaking of which, what is the body color? *NM*
    • I knew someone was going to ask. It's a Tamiya spray can color but I can't remember. I'll try to figure it out and let you know. *NM*
    • Looks like TS38 Gunmetal to me. *NM*
  • Really nice, I like it too. *NM*
    • Thanks. *NM*
  • Nice build! Is there a clear coat over the paint? I've used Novus #2 on a Q-Tip to remove superglue. *NM*
    • Yes, Tamiya clear. I'll give it a shot. I just don't want to touch it with any grit and sand to far. *NM*
  • There are superglue removers (solvents)...
    • I ran out of epoxy a few years ago and just never got around to getting more. Tomorrow I am finding some, thanks. *NM*
      • I use this instead of epoxy or super glue to attach parts to painted surfaces. Dries crystal clear but use sparingly. *NM* *PIC*
        • Where do you get it, Dave?? *NM*
          • Not Dave, but a quick google search on Close to my Heart website lists it for $10.95. *NM*
            • Yep, thanks. I already ordered some from them, and is supposedly going to be delivered today. *NM*
  • I like that paint combo very nice! The whole car looks good *NM*
    • Thank you! *NM*
  • Looks good though! IMHO superglue is way over-used in model construction. I almost never use it. It's dangerous in more ways than one. *NM*
    • Well, I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum on this. I use CA almost exclusively. Two part Epoxy is good if you need time to adjust location. Don't know what I'd do without them. *NM*
    • Bill, what is your glue of choice? *NM*
      • Re: Bill, what is your glue of choice?
        • Thank you Bill. I'll have to take a shot at your method. *NM*
  • It should polish right out ! Some very careful work with polishing pad kit , cross cutting each step as instructed . Good luck if you decide to repair . *NM*
    • Thanks for the encouragment. I'll give it my best shot. *NM*
  • Patience. You've got a really nice build there. Take your time. You'll fix it! *NM*
    • At first I didn't want to mess with it but now a day or two later I will give it the old some college try. Never finished college so I'll do my best. *NM*
  • Nice build Terry!! *NM*
    • Thank you so much. *NM*
  • That looks really nice Terry! Good luck getting that spot rubbed out! *NM*
    • I appreciate it. *NM*
