'72 Toyota Celica 1600GT - Aoshima

Stop! You're making it worse!

 

[C.A. Whitecloud]

Moving on. I need to wrap up this build. I'm still learning every kit. It's easy for me to get discouraged and walk away rather than have a crappy result. I want to change that thinking and complete the project to the best of my abilities regardless of mishaps and set backs.

Any secrets to share for affixing the fiddley bits? Obviously you just glue them on and all is well, right?

If you can tell in the pic above, I tried to get a hole started for a .45mm wire but quite before I hacked up the pieces. There's no slot or pin of any kind on the body.

No expert here but I usually add the tiny fiddley bits with a tiny drop of 60 seconds CA (superglue) Pantherman

You can try to fit them without glue, if it fits snug, keep it in there sans glue. If glue is needed and paint has already been done, use a TINY drop of clear super glue

Pins, check.

Test fit went well.

Alright, calling it good. Another fun build. Not without it's mishaps, but turned out well. Thanks for all the support.
