Post by: kpnuts on July 18, 2018, 03:39:47 AM

Hi all i bought this kit from our LMS, not a great kit.
Loads of flash and the fit is awful, is this what Smer kits are normally like.

From most of the guys who have built their armour models, yeah, pretty much.

Well I've filled and sprayed the body, this in now going to be a street rod, I sprayed the mud guards and the paint reacted weirdly (went all lumpy with holes in it) tried removing the paint with clean spirit (it's an ecologically friendly brush cleaner you wash out with water) and the mud guards melted, I mean to the point it looks like a blob of melted plastic. I've used this stuff before with no trouble.
