low parts count kit but quite OK really. My first real go at bare metal foil on the wipers, door handles and window trim. Ah! wow its hard! Hopefully I'll get better at it. Although to be honest ever a less than perfect effort is better than none with BMF use. Done properly it makes a big difference. The pics show that I need to touch up the blackwash on the grill.
The kit model is to be a pair with FMs convertible, but again the 1/24, 1/25 difference does show up. Wish AMT would use First Gears measuring instruments!

I beautiful model Geoff. I have not tried bare metal foil on my cars, but I just picked up liquid chrome, which is like a magic marker. I have just used it on a 1966 Mustang fastback I am currently building. When done I will post it.

That looks great Geoff. Working with BMF will get easier. It took me a few tries to get the hang of it. The really great thing is if you don't get it just right, you can peel it off and redo it until you get it right. Not so easy to do with paint. You'll get the hang of it.👍💯
