I give up.

I mean, I give up trying to change things.

After much deliberation I decided I wanted to sand down the badly flaking decals and toss out the bad paint and repaint it Gulf colours

(even though this particular car was never in those colours. That was a later GT40).

But then I realized how much trouble it would be to paint the lower body/chassis.

Not only decals to strip, but I'd have to break apart a lot of parts already fitted to the lower section..

It would be a nightmare.

So, eventually I said "I give up. Its stays like this. And I am finishing it. It will never win any awards, so why stress?!"

And got on, I did, with the rest of the construction.

Side note...I still plan to experiment with track weathering and rain wash.

Heres a bunch of photos of where I am now.

Question, how do you guys glue in "glass".

Obviously the frames have paint on them now.

I tried Tamiya Cement. I tried CA glue sparingly.

Eventually some Revell Contact cement seemed to work best, but difficult to apply in a clean bead. I had to brush it on.
