(PICS) 1/18 Autoworld's 2015 Mustang GT one minute window fix.

Autoworld's 2015 Mustang GT is a very nice model. Not quite up to Autoart standards but still very good. There is this window issue, however.....

That "blue-gray" side window edge really destroys the look of tinted glass. One minute with a black Sharpie marker (simply glide the side of the marker along the edges of the windows) and the problem is almost solved.

I'd have to take the model apart to gain access to the window where it falls below the door...and one day I might just do it. But for now this is a vast improvement.

And it took one minute.

BTW Chris, did you ever silver the spokes of the Maisto Mustang?

Well Alan I knew I had to do something. I love the "up window" but that oh that edge!

The only Maisto Mustang I have is a green 1999 (not pictured). This red one is Autoworld's.
