Your GS is looking super, can't wait to seeing the finished product! Up until 3 yrs ago *PIC*

I was driving this GS455. It was a heavy, powerful beast, yet actually rode and handled surprising well.

* * * Geno * * * Very Impressive Work ... Coming Together Nicely - question

Am I correct in that ... I'm thinking you paint the bumpers with chrome .. while they are still attached to the frame ... ?

So when you remove the bumpers from the frame ... How do you address the 2 lil attachment spots

Do you file them down .. do you spray or use a brush and a dab of paint?

The lenses ... were they clear and did you paint them as well ?

Over all ... Your build is very impressive

Thanks Dennis, when I remove them from the sprue I file them and touch them up with a chrome Molotow pen, the headlight lenses have the T3 markings as would have come in the real cars.

Don't you wish that front clip was sprued from the back?

When you cut the sprues off, you're going to have to patch those two areas up.

I do Richard, I smoothed them down and touched them up with Molotow. They're almost invisible now lol.

first thing I check opening a kit is the chrome parts and where they are sprued...

When you see the sprues hidden, you know a real modeler designed the tree.
