I am working on a 1:64th K3000 (the size of a matchbox car). It won't have a light up scanner because it's just too damned small but I am going to tweek the interior and unlike other attempts I am stripping off the letters on the hood and back end. (I know shocking isn't it?)
Here's a trick for you car customizers out there (although I'm sure you die hards already know this). If you want to get the SHELBY letters off the hood, try dipping a q-tip in paint thinner or nail polish remover and gently swapping over each letter, then just use a twisted up kleenex to buff out each letter. It worked beautifully for my 1:64th and it doesn't damage the black gloss paint beneath.
It is important that you don't leave the thinner on too long or it will damage your black paint beneath, you just want to dissolve the first silver layer of each letter so make sure you only keep the thinner on there for a couple seconds or so then buff out the letters.
This trick will work on the front of the Shelby and the rear, but in the case of the rear you will only get the S and Y off, the others will have to be removed and painted back over with flat black where the stripes are.
I want to have the first
accurate 1:64th K3000.
I may also attempt a 1:64th
backdoor pilot Attack KITT and a 1:18 with the double spoiler.
