Hi to all.
My just completed TV Guide#16 and the Jasper Panther that I've pulled out of storage.

The 16, I reshaped its rear area as I think these cars look very top heavy. So I reduced the spoiler, added a 3mm strip at bottom of rear fender and removed the roof rails.

The above pic, can hopefully see the rear arch and spoiler sitting lower.

Both cars are in Slixx decals which laid great and #16 has doubled door numbers, to hide that paint border. Edge to edge masking too on both.
A faff to mask but no hard edge to feather out.
TS on 77 & auto cans on 16.

This lower grille, I first laid onto some clear film from a business envelope, cut around and stick on with PVA. A very slight 3D effect.

Great detail on this almost 30 yrs old printing.

Thanks. These mods have helped me like this bodyshape now, I have one more Taurus body to improve.
Very nice work. Great stance and detailing. Like your clever idea with the grill to achieve that 3D effect.

Thanks. I did make more effort with this build, liking now the bodyshape does help!
Also, the exhaust area on these kits.
The chassis lip what the body sits on, is it suppose to be also the exhaust? It's a detail I always forget about.
