Cool box art, worthy of a frame

Dammit! It's missing half the parts because they duplicated three trees. I guess this project is on hold. Let's see how good Round2 customer service is.

Primer. This kit has a very low parts count, should be a quick build.

The wheel and tire package in using.
11
November 14, 2024
Trying to show how badly warped this chassis is. It's also paper thin. Hopefully hot water will fix it.

November 14, 2024
Second color applied after masking.

November 14, 2024
Engine coming along nicely.

November 14, 2024
Yummy.

November 14, 2024
I goofed a little on the front mask.

Nice.

First time using velocity stacks. Need some chrome touch up.

November 18, 2024
This is what happens when a part is not washed.
20
November 18, 2024
Trying to get the twist out of this paper thin chassis. This didn't work so I used the hot water method.
21
November 18, 2024
Making sure the wheels are square.
22
November 18, 2024
Engine done.

Street exhaust and header dumps finished.

November 18, 2024
I tried to do some wet sanding and destroyed the paint job. In the brake fluid it goes.
29
November 18, 2024
Back in primer, like it never happened.

November 18, 2024
Going to use the orange as the base and see if that works better.
31
November 20, 2024
After 2 days air drying it still felt sticky so I figured I'd try the dehydrator.
32
November 20, 2024
After a few hours it came out very shiney but still felt sticky.
33
November 20, 2024
Another overnight in open air and I tried to clean it before applying some pearl clear and paint came off with alcohol wipes.
34
November 20, 2024
I figured I'd shoot some clear anyway. Instant paint boil. Back in the stripper again. This kit is trying to become wall art.
35
November 23, 2024
Primer and then base color for the 3rd time.
36
November 23, 2024
Secondary color....
37
November 23, 2024
I quick shot some good tamiya pearl clear on the orange and was able to unmask in about an hour.
38
November 23, 2024
Nice.
39
November 23, 2024
I did notice a small fingerprint after unmasking.
40
November 23, 2024
But it is what it is.
41
November 24, 2024
Found some 1/32" chrome pin stripe to divide the colors.
42
November 24, 2024
Window tint applied and "glass" in. Almost done.
43
November 25, 2024
Well, it happened. Didn't realize I had super glue on a finger tip as I was gluing the body to the chassis and spoiled the roof.
44
November 25, 2024
I did what I could to fix it.
45
November 25, 2024
Applied chrome pin stripe at the color lines and black pin stripe at the bottom.

Hopefully Round2 comes through with a new kit, or at least the missing sprues.

I forgot to post that I went online and sent pictures of what I got and what was missing and within a couple weeks the missing parts were at my door. Thanks Round2

Glad they came through for you, Kenneth! They've improved their customer service, much for the better! 🙂

I have this kit marked for my son. I figured while he is in Texas for spring break I would build it quick.
