Thank you Joe gave the body two coats of mm clear a few days to dry then the side moldings ? this gives me some time to think about it while I mask the Do-335.

Looks great Crown. I bought a 57 for my own because of this build.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Oh WOW. Do you cut it to shape prior to placing it on or trim it after? I've never used BMF. It looks like a new area I need to look into.

You could add flocking material to the interior floor for more realism.

Beautiful work and thanks for going with Flickr! It's all I have ever used on site I post pics and and man is it nice to click a pic here finally and see it get big or even bigger. Unless I was doing something wrong viewing pics people posted on that other site, they just opened the same size as the post. Love those seats you did. Born in 50 these cars bring back a lot of memories.

A number Army Viet Nam scans from hundreds yet to be done:
