I am pleased with everything on this model. except the front windscreen will not stick to the roof, it was simply just molded to small and there isn't enough surface area for the glue to bond. kind of disapointing but this model was very detailed. no engine but in the box there were about 2-3 different options for seats,mirrors,plates,spoilers,windscreen wipers,bodywork, lights so it was a joy to pick the parts I liked and wanted. I included a shot with my Toyota corona from the same time period. Please give me some honest feedback or tips. I make models because I am obsessed with automotive design. But I choose to display my work online so I can gain feedback from fellow model builders!

If you're looking to improve and you've got carpets in there you might want to think about, adding flocking to give it that 'carpet look'. I'm trying this out myself. Tried dusting with flour, sawdust, sand textured paint and then adding carpet colour so far (Low cost experiments), but there's plenty of methods out there. Sure someone can name a couple more that work well. Another thing might be your mirrors. Can't quite see from the photos, but you could use foil, or some old (clean obiously) sweet packaging to give it that shiny, mirror look. Just a thought or too... Cheers, Nick
