Building an AMT '69 Barracuda model, need some help
I do like the book says!! most of them want you to build the motor first.8)
I scrape back the chromed areas where the glue will go, I use a tooth pick to apply the glue. And I leave all parts where they are until it is time to paint and put them together, Then do like Woodys Cuda said scape off the paint where you glue together.
Chassis can be harder to locate in the right location.
They have a glue that has no harmful vapors, I like the fast dry for some area's of the car. Pick up a builder's kit and one tub of fast dry clue for some area's that will dry quicker for you.
I keep the body in a zip lock baggy so when it come time to paint there is no oils or prints on it, I still wash the bodie before painting.
Take your time and enjoy each step. Some time's I will do one step a night
here is my last one I built this winter for therapy
Your son will be happy to see you set him a chair next to you and having a great time doing this together, Have fun dad :thumbrig:
