The tape seams to have buggered up the surface. If it it doesn't clear out, the whole thing is going into the trash can. Live and learn.

Should have probably clear seal coated it. Wasn't confident 8 years ago, but at least I'm trying. RED ON!!

Attached the body, after putting in the internal visor and mirror assembly. Painted the head liner and around windows, finished the front and rear grills and attached to body. Glued in windshields. Cleaned up touch ups. This one is close, but ran out of steam.

Calling this one finished after eight years. I'll just count this one among my failures. Decided to use the kit hood, because the resin hood was cast improperly and I didn't catch it in time. Also, the three color paint work left a lot to be desired. Some final shots and the rest will be in the finished bin.

Should have test fit it earlier, but not with the body all the way on. It's a very tight fit.

It doesn't play well with tape and accepting more layers.
