yeah, I was thinking I would, but then I had an epiphany (love that word ). Maybe I could cut the seats and other stuff the model came with and glue them onto a board to put ontop of all the electronics so you can see the interior thought the window. But i'm pretty lazy so im not sure if i'll go through with it

update: Ok, i bought some gloss and screwed up my car a bit. The enamel gloss lifted and mixed up the base steel color. I only used it on the edge a bit so it wasnt too bad. I decided to use some acrylic gloss-ish stuff, it was more like glue but it got the job done. sort of. I didn't like how i could see the brush strokes, because i applied it with a brush, so i sat there thinking for a while and then I thought of the model window glue that i bought with the gloss. So basically i layered the glue on the whole body and i'm waiting for it to dry. Don't worry i tested it out Well, at least i have gloss i can mix in with some paint the next time i need to paint something. O and i painted the windshield all black from the inside (laziness prevailed ) and attached the side mirrors, which i had totally forgotten about. No pics right now, i'll get some after the glue dries.

Default Done

UPDATE: Alright, I'm officially done with my project. I've installed the clip made of hotel cards, and drilled a hole in the back windshield for the antenna (not in pic), which i completely forgot about. Also as you can see in the pic i glued the exhaust pipe on. I tried using the tire the kit came with instead of my stock tires but the size was a biiiit off and it scraped against the knuckles . I didn't realize that the front side windows were nonexistent until i was about to glue it on so you can see the stuff inside. The only thing I don't like is how you can see the battery pack pretty well from the side. I forgot to put the skirt on, but it only would have covered 1/4 of a cm more. Yeah, and CA glue isn't so great... It bonds weak and it spreads everywhere, you can't put a drop on a spot and expect it to stay there. I like the precision gluing nozzle though . Krazy glue ftw.

The clip ^
