[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16927803, member: 70025"] Found this video of a guy assembling a diecast Cobra Convertible. Looks like he took a Red Fire Convertible and painted it yellow. First the good. I think overall he did a good job. His assembly technique is similar to mine, but I use model glue to keep the parts in place. Overall his paint is decent. He disassembled the car completely in order to paint it. Very good/proper technique. The end of the video shows he reinstalled the decals, painted the chin spoiler and the lower part of the rear bumper black. Now for the not so good. His overall paint job is decent, but it looks like he used a single stage instead of a base coat and clear coat. So, the model does not shine as much as I think it could. He also did not paint the underside completely. So, you can still see the original color when you flip the diecast upside down to look at the under carriage. When he's taking the tape off the windshield you can still see the red on the inside. That piece is made out of clear plastic. So, you should sand off the original color completely before repainting it. Otherwise you can see the original color on the inside of the car. His decals look to be installed crooked and the Cobras are backwards. He painted the third brake light red instead of using a decal. So, it just looks like a red line. I would have added a license plate and I would have painted the bumper Cobra lettering. Overall it's cool to see people still modifying these Maisto diecast cars.
