Not sure what to name this one, or if I even want to name it. Heavily modified Kraton 6S. JConcepts Finnisher 1/8 truggy body marketed as being for the Kraton 6S. I used a Tamiya PS-5 Black rattle can. The guy at my LHS said I would probably need more than one can, so I bought two. I did 5 coats and still have a bit left in my first can. Instead of masking the windows and leaving them clear, I used some chrome/"mirror" vinyl wrap that I cut out using the masks that came with the body as stencils. I stuck the masks onto a piece of cardstock, cut it out, traced onto the backing of the vinyl and cut that out then trimmed the pieces down to fit. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out, especially the windshield. I only ended up using the front grille and headlights decal and the 2 American flag decals in place of taillights. I need to get another roll of drywall tape, the one I have is made of flexible thread-like material, not fiberglass. It doesn't do much for adding rigidity and structural integrity to the body. I could just use shoe goo alone. Any ideas, comments, or input from the community would be much appreciated. Thanks guys.
