'63  RETROVETTE

Page  3 of 3


 Bare metal foil and subsequently, two coats of clear varnish was applied on the body.
Bare Metal Foil and clear coat applied.
I had used this kit's dashboard in the "Jeetle", so I made a resin copy from that of a new kit. For the mold, I used Micro-Mark's "5-minute silicone putty".
The dash was painted the same tone with the body, and the instrument panel as wood. The gauges were detailed by paint, since no stickers were available.
And this is how the inside looks like. I painted the inside with purple, black and white. The steering wheel came from my parts box.
And, final pictures. The bumperettes at the front and rear are from Heller Renault 4 kit. They were glued on the body with 5-minute epoxy.

The rear lamps were from my parts box. They were mirrors before.
