nice! how did you go about it? i think i screwed my plastic one up.

Yes, it's it's from FX. How did I go about it? It's was pretty rough when I got it. Pin holes and seams. I sanded it and primed it with Dupli-color filler primer, sanded, primed, sanded, primed... painted with same brand paint,sanded,paint,sanded...taped canopy painted window, sanded,clearcoat...decals. It really was a pain in the A**, but it was worth it.

I was looking at mine last night. After seeing all the pin holes I put it right back on the shelve. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

[/ QUOTE ]Thanks for the compliments. I'll have to pass on that. With the weather being so crappy it took me about a month to finish. Can't paint in he rain. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

The best way to fix pinholes is to use 3M flowable finishing putty.Then prime you wont need high build prime.also while priming and you see pinholes use a toothpick with primer on it and put it in the hole sand smooth when dry.
