Thank you While I have a full Blown wood shop I wanted to involve my grandson more . The front end was cut on bandsaw but the rest was done 100% with sand paper. we drew two lines for roof and used 60 grit to cut in the back wing then drew the windshield lines and sanded that in. To create the Cowl we drew a triangle and sanded that in. we then sanded down to 320 grit. 4 coats of lacquer 2 coats of clear. The Decals are 1/32 scale from Polecat Graphics and then 3 coats of clear over the decals. Being a car guy some Mothers carnauba wax to shine it up .
The front bottom from windshield to front axle was drilled out with forstner bit to lighten |
