That is looking great. I agree with Heath, how did you do the lettering. I have some on my laddert ruck that I just stare at trying to figure out how to paint them.

the lettering is a decal (HA Fooled ya) but I finished it tonight, did this in 2 days, had time to work on it and my wife is so happy, she is a coke junkie.




Coke machines are part of the kit, metal one and very nice. Fun build and a good kit other than a ton of flash and mold lines, the fit was excellent.Big Smile [:D] Only problem was one of the clear pieces was damaged, you can see it in the picture, no way to repair it but I guess I will live with it.

Excellent.

Raised lettering -- a very stead hand, good light and not too much paint, which is definately not too runny, allowing plenty of time. Well that how it works for me.

Fantastic job! I love how you did the engine and chassis! Your yellow is just so smooth! Fantastic!

As for the windshield, I think that if you get some Testor's Window/Clear parts cement and use that to fill in the hole, you could then paint that part silver and nobody would be able to tell it was ever damaged. Give that a try.
