Some more progress on the 1/32 Porsche 356 by Tomy. I really don't have any experience with photo etched parts on finished surfaces. Also, the white metal pieces were new to me as well. The kit fits together fairly well, but some of the small pieces like the door handles can be tricky to set in place. Also, I ended up painting the engine with Tamiya primer, then a heavy coat of Testors gloss black, and finally with Tamiya semi gloss black along with a couple others colors for detail.
I tried some Gator's Grip acrylic adhesive.
I found the Gator's grip worked well on the body side trim, but I couldn't get it to work correctly on the really small photo-etched name plates. Below is the car's body with most of the trim in place. On the small trim, I used clear lacquer and it worked very well.
