| Here's
the '54 after the first sanding and shaping. |
|
| As
mentioned earlier, a second coat of filler was required to
fill the seam completely. The Bondo sanded easily and quickly. |
|
| Initial
sanding and shaping finished on the '55. |
|
| The
3M filler sanded easily, but there was some shrinkage that
required another coat. |
|
| Meanwhile,
I proceeded with construction of some of the sub-assemblies,
starting with the chassis. Here's the kit hubcap. |
|
|
My research showed that there was red detailing on the 1:1
hubcap. I started by applying a coat of red to that area. |
|
| While
the paint was still wet, I used a paper towel to wipe away
the excess, which left red in the recessed ribbed area. |
|
| The
finished wheel and tire assembly. |
