1/24 Esci Range Rover

Now struggling with this, things are a very bad fit, the rear and front windows in particular.
The front and rear light clusters do not sit right, some work required here.
In my opinion one has been moulded wrongly, but it may just be me.
I am once again finding it hard to achieve the finish on the body that I would like.

Hi Zak,
Got your work cut out with this one. You would think that the manufacturer would have spotted the inaccurate mouldings beforehand.
I'm sure you will sort it.

You'll sort it Dave. The seatbelts look good.

It is an old kit and apparently the Italeri version is similar, probably the same kit.

[zak]

A few areas of black to touch up and a filler cap for the fuel.

Looking very nice. You've done a good job there Dave.

[Bigkev]

Another showroom stunner. Very nice.

I will now reveal the new tool used when wanting a better finish in gloss on model cars.

[zak]

Yes, a cardboard box to cover the model and leave on for quite some time!

[Bigkev]

Is the patent pending......?

I used to something similar when we had an airing cupboard, putting the model in the box and allowing the warmth to help cure the paint.

Dust is always a problem while drying. Well done.

Looking good. Is this one from the Royal Estates or from a disgruntled farmer? Don't say it's a 'Chelsea tractor'!!!
