Stéphane JayetPromising kit replacing glue by screw in many cases, but there are some moulding issue, so parts have to be well prepared.

Stéphane Jayet@george, during my vacations for 2 weeks I installed some books on it and it is now almost ok

bossy122How will you do the black pinstripe? That is what has always kept me from trying this kit.
12 October, 06:42
Stéphane Jayet@George, I like this engine as well, and I don't remind a kit where the belts are really belt (not plastic formed with the pulleys).
12 October, 11:48
Stéphane Jayet@bossy122, frankly speaking, I don't know yet. 2 options on the table : option 1 is to cut the decals from the box, option 2 is to do some masking (using tracing paper on the original decals). Option 2 is my preferred option so far.
I already painted the body twice because I had some issues with the masking tape (removing the paint), so hope it will work at first try....

bossy122Can you copy the kits pinstripe then print your own? A little white on one side and a little yellow on the other, covering up any tapes leaks as well.

TreehuggerQuestion for OP:
What brand might be selling vacuum formed clear parts? Seems like you found some as seen in photo #11. I've seen some for airplane/jet canopies, but none for cars, so I wouldn't know where to look.

Alexander GrivonevHey Treehugger, the parts in the picture are part of the kit. But funny that you mention this topic because I actually dealt with this question myself recently. I finished two 964s earlier this year (Revell and Fujimi) and the clear parts in both kits were of very poor quality. Searched for aftermarket replacement and found nothing. So I decided to try myself at vacuforming and made the clear parts myself which turned out to be pretty decent (after countless tries and errors) I have not posted pictures of the builds yet but intend to, keep an eye open. You are right, there is definitely a lack of aftermarket windshields for cars...

Alexander GrivonevAhem, let`s continue here shall we? Not that I was absent for three months or something...

MarcelLooks very good so far, looking forward to the end result. Very interesting to read your notes.
11 September, 08:06
Alexander GrivonevThx mates, I hope my explanation is comprehensive, if not do ask!
11 September, 16:14
bughunterAlexander, I'm really sorry about this mishap!
They show us the difference between a normal modeller and a master modeller: mishaps happen to both, but with you there's nothing to see afterwards!
19 September, 17:33
Alexander GrivonevIf you only knew how many car models I had to repaint! I honestly think most of them, partly or in whole. It is a rarity a paintjob succeeds at the first try. I don`t even call them "mishaps". Just "happy little accidents" like Bob Ross 😄
19 September, 17:46
bughunterOh yes, the famous late night painting sessions on TV with the "happy little trees" 🙂 I was always fascinated by his work!
19 September, 18:19
Alexander GrivonevExactly, the lullaby channel😄 no, the guy was really great.
But on the topic of repaintings again, I actually counted the car models which are right now in my home. There are a total 16 on display and I had to redo the paintjob on 9 of them! Partly or in whole. So that is actually not the exception but the rule 👍
19 September, 18:29
bughunterAnyway, your car paint jobs here on SM are the reference for me, no kidding!
Thank you also very much for the detailed description about used paints, 2K stuff and thinners etc in your build logs 👍
Fortunately, I don't normally need such high-gloss finishes, but I have helped other modellers (no SM members - yet) several times by pointing them to your build reports.
Thank you very much, your documentation effort is highly appreciated!
19 September, 18:45
Mr DVery smart 👌 and neatly done 👍
Like your parts organiser, definitely on shopping list.

Lorraine LinAlexander, fantastic work！Really like the painting jobs, the "leather" seats and car body. And the whole process is well documented, I leant a lot. Will add this page to my favorite, as I need to go through all these pictures before I build my next car. Thank you for sharing.
21 September, 10:54
Mr DThe wheel are so realistic 👍👍
Did they use the Rudge wheel...like in the gull-wing??
21 September, 15:53
Landlubber MikeWow, this is incredible! Thank you for sharing your techniques, I learned a lot!
22 September, 02:47
Alexander GrivonevLorraine, you are welcome!
Mr D, I must admit I had to google what "Rudge wheels" are. but it seems to be an own VW/Porsche design that differs from Rudge wheels. USCP sells them separately too.
Landlubber Mike, my pleasure!

Alexander GrivonevBack from a short vacation, the paint has cured. Let's wrap this one up..
3 October, 06:06
Landlubber MikeThank you for showing how you attach the small PE (like name badges) on the body. I'm stuck on a couple of cars at the moment trying to figure out what to do as I was worried about using CA and causing the same issue you had with your grills. I'll have to pick up some of that Micro Liquitape.
11 October, 20:56
Alexander GrivonevThx guys! Mike, CA leaves absolutely no room for error, found this glue to be just perfect for the job.
12 October, 15:35
BozzerI gotta admit, I'm gonna have to get some of that Liquitape. It certainly does the job. I do however, wonder if it lasts? We've all glued bits back on, that have fell off our models, just from age alone? You would have to carefully replace it, so as not to upset the paint?
13 October, 00:20
Alexander GrivonevHey Bozzer, I first used this method on the 964 Carrera 2 I finished earlier this year:
Porsche 964 Carrera 2 *Velvet Red Metallic* | Album by Alex G. (1:24)
The "Carrera" emblem which is a PE part is firmly attached. If I wipe with my finger over it or even pick on it with my fingernail it doesn't move. Seems like the glue solidified over time and the bond became even stronger. My gut feeling tells me not to worry too much about the parts "falling off".
13 October, 07:38
SpanjaardI have a bottle of the product, never actually used it, always thought that it was just PVA glue in a much smaller bottle..... but certainly seems to work in this case
