I know that your work is not completed,I am just pointing out what seems to need your attention.
But why didnt you masked the BMW logo over Bonnet during painting?Try to mop the paint with thinner/terpentine oil-if nothing clears out,print in appropiate scale of the BMW 3D logo(like my profile picture).
What happened to her eyes?Extra pressure to take them out,or thinner made it opaque?Try Xylene to make them clear.

I want to see the best Finishing touch from you mate,like that GTR.
Ill give you a bit of background on this car. This is my Keeda car. My trial and error time pass is all done on this one. I appreciate your inputs though. The thing with the headlights is as follows. they were painted black ages ago. And then the paint started coming out, so i was using thinner to take it off and thus this happened. But its ok with me. I like that grey smoked look. And the best thing is that the car looks super stunning in my Showcase.

After our last Bangalore trip my wife gifted me a 'Assembly Line' semi-build Ferrari 1:24 model from Maisto. I was so excited as its my first Assembly Line even thought I've made somany model of my own by clay & card-boards. I was so excited that I couldn't control my self even after a late night drive back from Bangalore & I assembled it the same night. Here are the pictures of my 123rd member of my garage!

Cyrus, this looks a lot better than the matt black effect. Seriously, i wondered how you ever decided on that! However, why yellow? White would have looked awesome.

Kudos for your assembly line model. I too have the 1967 mustang and Ferrari F60 1:24 assembly line from the same company. It was fun.

I am working on a revel 1:24 assembly line kit which involves glueing and painting, has got 120+ pieces to assemble. I will be posting Pictures once I start Assembling.

HAHA!! Well, that was a year ago, when I had a Fetish for Matt Black. Anyways,Ill tell you why yellow and not white. You cant get this shade of yellowish orage in the market. White on the other hand, Maisto makes.

Nice kit manish. Looks like it will be quite a task to put it all together. It will be hours of fun though. Happy assembling

Tks for the appreciation. I did not purchased the Glue (it was 18 dollars) with the kit. Now Can any one suggest which Indian Glue to use (will it be feviquick)???

manishalive -you are great man-you turned this thread really for the hardcore scale model lovers.What we see in the Foreign diecast forum,like BMC,you bought it down here.I had worked for some 1:24 scale models,many years ago, from kits like these.There was no Super glue or Feviquick available.I used Adeldrite instead-it gave me a time to fix any error made,the bond was strong enough but can be opened by submerging to some solution (I forgot it)-the only negetive point against it is the time to allow for setting.
I love your enthuistic approach.

I have ordered and made payment for those three Hotwheels today,waiting to receive a big parcel!
