JPM is very good at building these little beauties in the AMR tradition of building. As has been said in this thread it takes a talented builder to keep it simple and elegant.

In this step, we have to prepare the plexi covers for the front lights. First to cut them with scissors from the vac-form part and then to smooth the edges with sanding paper.

Once they adapt perfectly to their place, they are held with tape; we can glue them now with a small thread of 2 components epoxy glue applied with a little stick, the excess glue is wiped away with Q-tip.
On those cars the plexis were secured with black tape, this is perfectly reproduced using the decal provided in the kit.

Last step of the building is to put all the small accessories on the body, note the 3 parts for each rectangular light and the handles of the hood with their tiny washers.

The rear part now , the fuel cap is particularly accurate with one white-metal and one photo-etched part. We’ll finish with the exhaust pipes and the hooks for the lifting jack.
Hope you did enjoy this building process and wish all the best to all forum visitors for 2012!
Last word to thank Mike Craig for giving us the opportunity to work on such wonderful kits, can’t wait to see his future creations!
