Looks like you are off to a good start. I`ll be watching to see what you do with this. :) What color are you going to go with?

Those wheels look different than the ones I`ve seen with this kit. Did they come with the kit?

The color will be from Tamiya MS-6)))
As for the wheels, I just started this topic when it began working with the model and made the photo parts of the set ((Because runners took photos of the various reviews of similar models. So the wheels in the set, such as painted on the box :)

All nothing but air bubbles, it is a huge problem ... the resin is very thick .. how to reduce viscosity, do not know (

Good progress.

About the resin, did you pour in your mold by the bottom so that the bubbles can get out? I find that I get good results if my mold has 2 openings: one to fill by the bottom, one to let the air get out by the top.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the tip) I still prompted, that can warm the resin before mixing, it becomes less viscous .. that should get rid of air bubbles. I will try))

Looking good! You are putting alot of effort into this kit, removing the exhaust and gas tank. I noticed the holes in the gas tank. Are you going to fab up a fill pipe and gas lines?

What kind of guitar do you play?

Hawk312,Yes, forces put much. but only by the spirit)) - All because Cuda my favorite muscle car and want to make it close to ideal))
Yes, the hole in the gas tank is made for the installation of the fuel line)

I play on a Cort X-1, true'm thinking already take something better))
