Foiling a 59 Bonneville

[mack2856]

looks like a month of foiling ahead.

Lol. I will usually wait until I absolutely, positively have to start foiling before I'll do it.

Actually, the '59 Bonneville is not that bad to foil.......except for the trim on the tops of the dual fins!

Absolutely gorgeous, it look's like a Art Fitzpatrick-Van Kofman Pontiac advertising illustration.I assume that it's a AMT from the wheels. Luckily the wagon only has one fin trim but all that door jamb and drip rail on a moredoor is intimidating on a resin that's not molded as well as the AMT. But thanks for the encouragement.

Correct.

There is a lot of extra window trim on the wagon, and in most circumstances, the window trim is the most time consuming part.

Has anybody figured out a way to stop long peices of foil from curling after removing from the sheet, very frustrating.

Breath-taking finished model! I am soooo envious.

What type of foil are you using?

I have never had that issue with "original" or "new improved" BMF.

Only the "ultra bright".

Thanks, you guessed it,it's BMF Ultra Bright, look's like I need to put an order in, unless I continue to pull my hair out, and I don't have that much left.
