[Closed] Pics: Brooklin's '57 Chevrolet Bel Air 4 door Sport Sedan

And we keep saying fidelity and detail. I guess we can make it simpler.

But I have to be honest with you, Bob. You're sounding pretty confrontational without really adding anything to the conversation.

That sounds interesting. I'll bet it would work!

John just point out what you call accurate.

It clearly does photograph wonderfully, especially in that color scheme !

PICs Yes, it works - I did it on many of my models...

using a two component epoxy glue.

What a great idea, Ralf! These headlight lenses look real.

OK, thanks. The fidelity and detail are spot on.

A bit of warning with two part epoxy

I did this on a Western which I hyper-detailed 5 years ago. To my horror the headlights have begun to discolor into an ugly sort of pink. It started out clear, and was never in direct sun. Perhaps the Krystal Kleer sort of product would have better!

Bob, If you have a negative opinion of this model, please point out what you like and dislike.......

Potential buyers might be interested in hearing from the former owner of a 1:1 version.

PICs That happened to one of my 1932 Fords...

which I modified around 1995

The lights looked "yellow-ish" after a couple of years.
A drop of acetone carefully applied with a Q-Tip softened the glue and I finally could remove it with a sharp blade.
Anyway no work one would like to do often...

This one was made with another brand of glue in 1989 and still looks the same today...

Thank you, David! It's really worth a try.

Frank I just didn't care to see another 57 Chevy...nothing negative on how it looks.

It's the other guys that say it's so accurate but can't say what's so accurate.

Epoxy will discolor after time. But the canopy glue trick sounds great!

Thanks for the info David; I love that diorama...looks so realistic
