Creating a master for a lexan windshield – done!

Saturday, July 25th, 2009

Remember, a couple of posts ago I promised a dutch reader that I would make a master for the Tamiya King Cobra wind screen. Finally I did it. I mixed up some CeranoFix (by Eberhard Faber) and pured it into the windscreen part I had.

Metallic blue … and still more sanding

Is the colour that I have chosen for the King Cobra. The original box art of Tamiya shows the car in a colour scheme which brings it close to Carol Shelby (but we know already, that this was wrong). I found this metallic blue in my local supermarket when I was looking for some heat resistant colour for the Live Steam Locomotive I have and just picket it up.
