Yes Anthony,resin.A sanding 280 or 400 grit ,depending on the smoothness of the print until lines vanish paying attention not to eliminate panel lines before 1st primer coat.If needed sand again 400grit and primer coat.Repeat as many times as needed usually not.After the first paint coat sanding with 1000 grit.If i can stand the wait i repeat with 1500 and 2000 grit.For red cars i use Motips Deco range #01640 carmin red RAL 3002 which i find enough glossy and i stop at the 1000 grit sanding

Yep. I heard it straight away. It's a natural ear-worm type of song.
Now someone needs to invent a slot car lift kit so we can adjust the ride height while driving the car.

Maybe a digital controller with a little servo in the car

Looks like you and I are the only guys that like low riders, Kevan.
I originally posted that pic on another continent so my fellow club racers wouldn't see it. I might get shot! It would hail bricks and stones!
Too late. The other guy in my club that also likes to slam cars saw it and said "That's too low for even me".
The body posts were not in when that pic was taken. It's up to a respectable height now. I'll start a proper thread on the '62 Bel Air shortly.
