Looks great. Yellow is indeed shard one!

Didn't see this one till this morning. Cool Hillborn injected set up on that engine. Good work on getting rid of that exhaust system too.....I mean really?? They couldn't mold a different chassis with no exhaust system for this car? Paint work is looking really good so far too bud. Will be watching this beauty come together.

Thus far, the chassis has been painted, trimwork with Molotow chrome pen (medium tip) has started on all window trim areas. Gonna let it dry before proceeding further to hit the tight spots with the fine point chrome pen. Pics forthcoming....

Re: AMT ‘57 Ford Fairlane Hardtop
Trim work is finished but I got stupid when the chrome smeared after handling instead of letting it dry overnight before I installed the windshield pieces. I guess I pushed my luck by getting too impatient to get it out of the way and done with.
I had to touch up the yellow, re-trim the chrome and stopped. Tomorrow, I’ll touch up with the red. I’m done for the night.

Re: AMT ‘57 Ford Fairlane Hardtop
When using molotow for trim I let it dry a minimum of 2 weeks, maybe longer.

Pfffttt.... ain’t got time to wait 2 weeks for it to dry.
Anyhow, she’s about done except for decals are next.

Re: AMT ‘57 Ford Fairlane Hardtop
Yesterday's progress pics...
Chassis. Yeah, I know it's not pretty even after putty and a poor attempt to smooth it out. Meh... not gonna see it when done anyway.
Trimwork with Molotow Chrome pen...
The red in the trim, I used those Sharpie Paint pens.
