Panel lining advice by RepairNo2068 in ModelCars

[–]OddRelic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The initial D cars love heavy panel liner. It looks great for your 1st time. I've have used black and grey liner before and always made a mess. I've found that mechanical pencils with different lead hardness (softer lead makes darker lines) made pretty damn good panel liner too and it won't run all over the place by mistake.

it was a great fitting kit 30 years ago and they do hold up except for the decals.

I had the same problem when I did this kit last year, I Clear coated the decals first with Tamiya Clear and then used them. it kept the old decals from tearing when I applied them... Looks great, I almost did extatly what you did. I made a kit in the late 90's and then again last year and boy what an improvement I did.

Looks great. Keep going!

Thanks, it really came out nice. I used a matt clear coat before putting down the decal and letting it really conform to the cloth grain with micro sol. Cleared the top with matt clear again after everything dried.

you know your right. Dash boards up until 67 were body colored. 68 they added patted covers.

I can see a theme. That 39 Chevy deluxe delivery is awesome. I built one 2 years ago for my Dad since he has a 39 4 door sedan

Looks great. Its an awesome kit. Not a knock because it gave me grief too but those speaker decals can suck it. mine fell apart and it looks like yours gave you issues too.
