Interesting idea. Back when I did models, I just lightly sanded the raised border edges between colors, the hit with clear. Now there's super fine sandpaper, polishing kits, and the options and expectations are a real challenge. Looks good and would like to see the rest of the build, i.e. engine interior, frame. Good going so far, thanx!

So I hadn't finished this one and I was eager to chop a 49 but didn't want to open one of my new kits. Gotta say I almost fell off my stool laughing so hard when I saw my attempt.
Anyone have a how to on chopping a 49 merc?

After more filling and sanding I laid some primer on it to see what it looked like. Not too bad. needs more sanding and maybe a bit more filler in some areas.   |

You're well on your way Ice. Next time strip the paint first.  |

Right? Haha! To be honest it was an experiment being my first chop so I didn't bother to strip it....coming out better than I thought so it will be heavier than normal cuz of the paint.
