All righty. Before this GB gets buried I'll bump it back up. I finished the P-40 for the Warhawk build, so I'm blowing the dust off of the HemiCuda! That's all I'm working on till its finished.

Now where was I....? Ah yes, puttying Disapprove [V]

Sorry to break the news, but due too other commitments and a distinct lack of time and knowledge to work an actual car model, I am going to have to bow out of this Group Build.

road kill hang in there we are sure you can complete this build there is a lot of time left. I have six car and one aircraft on the bench. so hang in there.

In other news sunny california is not sunny we have a wicked down pour going on and thunder and lighting it is so cool. but my work bench might be under water. drowning all my equipment. hope not but when it lets up I will go check the damage.

Progress report: First coat of gray primer is applied. I've resanded and filled some spots I missed the first time, reshot the primer over those locations and now am giving the enamel a couple of days to cure. By the weekend I'll have the interior shot the final color and the white primer applied to the body, so I'll post a couple of pics for the heck of it.

Quick progress, Jim. That's going to be a interesting Corvette when you're done Big Smile [:D]

As promised, a progress picture.

Pieces and parts, some assembly required. Still have along way to go Sad [:(]

I'm going to let the enamels cure before I do anything major. Obviously still need to paint final body color, have touchups to do on interior, flocking needs to be installed, PE trim needs to go on, etc., etc.

How big is the hole? If it's small enough that putty could support itself, then just use that. Otherwise, you may have to use a sheet of styrene to bridge the opening.
