Looks like a cool project Jody. That Revell body is a little on the rough side but it looks like you got it all fixed. Keep us posted on it.

You asked for it, here it is in final color. Still have to clear coat and trim out, and apply decals yet to be purchased, then final clear rub and polish! But its in its pre race glory! LOL. Jody   |

Alright. Finially repainted and decaled. Not perfect, but not bad. I am tired of trying to redo it after three times and realize I will not get perfect with this one. So is time to get it finished and move on. LOL. By the way, the decals are from Whoopie Kat. Not sure If Ill get any more from them in the future or not? Had to soak them for over 2 minutes, then even longer on a paper towel before I could persued them to come off of the paper. Then they were very flimsy and was easy to wrinkle, fold and tear. After a month and a half waiting for them, I wondered why I got two sets. Now I know why, I needed them! Also, if wanting to build the newer version, the 264 would need to get removed, and the CA under Tulare is missing. If wanting to do the older version(second) some of the sponsores for the rear quarter panel are missing. IN either case, the B/Gs and the buttom rear quarter panel sponsors are over sized!!Thanks.
