Here's my Skyline work in progress. She's almost done. I had it painted, and then tried to do the trim and it got screwed up. Acrylic paints. So I stripped it and repainted it with Tamiya rattle cans. Primer, Color, and Clear. Polishing is done with Novus #2. I discarded the plastic mesh int he kit and replaced it with some PE mesh. For the emblem in the grill instead of using the metal transfer and a decal which would have been nearly impossible to get in there, I took the engraved emblem off the other front fascia and glued it on, and then painted it, and I think the results came out better. I still have mroe work to do, including the decals such as the ones that go over the metal transfers in the back, and a few other misc items, like the mirrors. I'm trying to remember where I put the mirrors. I put them someplace safe, so I wouldn't lose them and can't remember where I stashed them. Go figure. Sure they ain't far. Anyway here you go. 3 pics of it almsot done.
