I did not take any "in progress" construction photos of this Cutlass.
These first three show the model is ready to paint with "SnJ Spray Metal Aluminum Paint."

I soldered three brass rods together, and inserted them into the three holes in the wheel wells.  It made an excellent handle while  I applied the SnJ aluminum paint.

Were the tires flat on this Cutlass ?  No Way in H...!!; I kept thinking about Dave Hansen all the time I worked on the tires!

I have added a few digital close-up photos.   

I cut real close to all my decals, as the clear decal film sure shows up on SnJ.

Darn it all, I must have bumped the canopy with my digital camera, as the front end is raised up.  Must go glue it back together with white glue.

The F7U-3M won 3 first place local awards, and took a 1st; at the IPMS/USA  SEATTLE, WA show in 1992.

The 1/72 and 1/48 scale models look great together.

These models are another fine example of "bare metal" finishes with "SnJ."

Happy Modeling Everyone!
