Great idea Kp. Looks really nice without the roof. Really glad your gonna stick at this one

hi all this is fighting me all the way, I bought some barrier coat and sprayed it with that then gave it a coat of gloss white and its reacted with the barrier coat, you cant really see from the pics but there are little wrinkles in the paint so Im hoping sanding back where the wrinkles are down to bare plastic and re spraying will solve it.

Really glad to see your still battling through this one mate. It will all be worth it in the end

Hi all lots done on this, although it dosn't look like it (mostly taking apart what I did before and repainting in new colours,think I've sorted the body
paintwork out.

Hi all here is tonights update.

Hi all well since the citroen is now probably bin fodder I thought I better get on with this (plus christmas is round the corner) (actually I think I ought to give up modelling, I'm obviously crap at it)
I know the canvas bit looks as though it dosn't fit but when taped in it all fits
makes no difference anyway I'm getting fed up of always ruining models.

















oh and if im not too late sean you need to shave the door shuts on the car side if you are having the doors opening inside the wings as they should other wise they bind (especially on the lower bulge in the bodywork)

Been keeping a keen eye on this one.

You have had your ups and downs but full credit to you for keeping with it.

Beginning to look really nice. You almost had me pressing the button to order one but got to control myself some (loft already full of kits)

Not sure what you intend to finish with but the Halfords paints are very good and as most of them now seem a lot better than the old harsh chemical versions from years ago some good colours to choose from.

Don't talk to me about halfords paints they ruined my Citroen.

Oh dear - its been a few years since i used them n some car models. Our halfords moving to the outskirts of the town has not seen me there for sone time.

Was always a fan of their undercoat sprays as well as price was always on my side.

Hi Kp,

Not sure if you can get Simple Green or Super Clean in the UK but, that is what I use to strip the paint and chrome off my plastic models. It won't soften the plastic and its biodegradable. So it completely washes away after soaking in water. I know your not a beginner but sometimes a new set of eyes can help.

Humidity and temp when you sprayed? Solvent residue left over from previous stripping? Hope this helps... I hate getting stuck and having issues like the ones you are having at the moment. I had to laugh at what you wife said to you. My wife has said the same to me and I gave her the same reaction.

Your build looks very good so far. Hopefully, you can solve the primer issue. I am sure I read somewhere here but I am lazy and don't want to go back through. What kind of primer did you use? Anyways, Good luck with the build.
