That looks like enough on the block Lyle. Next time we'll go with a light acrylic dark wash. Leave 'er as is for now.
And yes....wait for the Spaztix. You'll be glad you did.
I'll check out your progress this evening potna.
Thank you guys for your confidence in the abilities. I fought the battle over the last few years and can only say that it's just stuff that I've learned along the way and am happy to pass along.

I watched about a 15 minute video review of this kit and it is indeed a very nice kit. For some reason AMT gets a bad rap amongst some modelers but IMO they are worlds better than 90 % of the Revell automotive kits out there and it's things like that separate chassis that makes alot of the difference. Other things that AMT does that Revell didn't do for the LONGEST time was offering the oil pan as a separate piece rather than being molded into the engine block halves.
I have been pleasantly surprised at how well things have gone together. I was horrified at the number of parts and fragile they looked. They went together very easily...with copious amounts test fitting.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Chassis looks pretty dang good Lyle. I see alot of semi gloss black which is okay but remember to break it up a little with some different shades and subtle details.
