Made the trunk practically useless...

Jeff I had to cut the tab off the steering gear box part 124 and locate it lower on the frame then where the tab should have gone to clear the engine and exhaust...I mocked up the interior and body with the engine in place then superglued the box in position... here is a pic...  |

Snug as a bug in a rug on the test fit... I thought the frame was warped cause all four wheels won't hit the ground but with the body snapped on all touch fine.   |

That looks great, Joe. I've been working on sub assemblies. Should have some pics up later.

Can't seem to find that light pink/lavender color anywhere... MCW has the Persian Sand....#5921. They also have the Wood Rose Metallic....#5918. Two 1 ounce jars for a big model like a Caddy.

I've used some of their spray cans in the past. Their paint formula is supposed to be more realistic to 1/24 and 1/25 scale.

Any problems with application?

I used Sublime Green from the spray can on a Lotus Europa. It came out fairly good, I thought. I'd try it, again. A lot of builders use MCW on their auto builds.
