I'm with Allen on this, you have put too much work in on this to just "toss" it. Give it a rest and have another look in a couple of days.

I agree with Allen and Rick. The outside decals can be weathered and disguised as well worn. The decals on the dash can be seen to be worn as well. Have a fresh look again at the weekend

Wow Paul,

I can see your point, but the finish doesn't look bad at all. The white stripe looks nicely worn and the rest of it too. I would let it dry till the weekend and give her a new go. Shame about the decals though...Please don't bin it....or set it on fire!!!

Hi Allen, I think your being kind mate, but hopefully with a bit more work I can turn it around.

I'm sure you can. Not that it looks bad at the moment, it looks fine to me.

I agree with the others Scottie - looks fine to me and any dodginess with the decals can easily be weathered over. Please don't bin it.

Thanks Peter I'm hoping to turn it round.

[scottie3158]

Well I tried to sort it but my heart wasn't in it so a few pics before this heads to the bin/the bits box.







Thanks for following and the kind words.
Cheers

Hi Scottie
Crying shame after all the work. As the others have said it looks ok in the photos.
In the end it's your model to do with as you like but put it to one side somewhere safe. One day in the future you might think of an idea to do something with it.
Stay safe.

I'm sorry, Paul, I can't see what's wrong with it.
It just looks a bit war-weary to me and isn't that the point?
If you've fallen out of love with it then it's yours to bin if that's what you choose, but I would be quite chuffed if I could get a result like that!

[stillp]

These would have been hammered around the proving ground and subject to all sorts of abuse, so yours looks just fine to me.
