Do you hand brush everything? I noticed the wheel covers are pretty rough and there is that one area on the left sidepods that looks like you tried repairing an oops. The build is good but next thing I would work on, if it was me, would be getting a silky smooth paint finish.
You are coming along nicely with resin/white metal work.
And I am not criticizing you just for fun. I am SOOOOO scared of putting down paint on my resin MFH kits because it is a new media for me!
Best of luck!

Very nice build, Kyle. Check out Lance Sellers kits. He does very good resin Indy kits also

Resin isn't any more difficult to paint than anything else. Step one, soak it in Polident and rinse it off (it removes any residue). Step two, give it a coat of primer. From then on you are working with a primer surface no different than on plastic or metal, treat it the same.

And I am not criticizing you just for fun. I am SOOOOO scared of putting down paint on my resin MFH kits because it is a new media for me! Best of luck! The white wheel covers got brushed simply because I forgot about them after primer. They say they’re languishing in the bag as everything else got painted. And then it rained for a couple days so I couldn’t go out and paint. So I didn’t worry about them. The body was sprayed as were the red wheels covers. The left side pod which I didn’t notice until looking at these photos appears to be BMF glue residue, which has undoubtedly been clear coated over now so at least it’s protected 🤪. I didn’t touch anything up there. Mostly I’m just not very good at this scale modeling thing in general, although I keep working at it. The resin wasn’t bad. I scrubbed it cleaned, primed it and painted it. I’m sure you’ll nail the paint jobs on your MFH kits!! And I appreciate all the feedback!

Soaked it, scrubbed it, rinsed it, primed it and sprayed it. Took primer and paint just fine!!

I have built a few of those Silver City kits including that one. All were excellent. You did a nice build.

Just love those resin Indy kits. I'd say that you did one heck of a job especially as it's your 1st full resin build.
As for the Little Al story, you just can't blame him for trying to help his Dad. Just imagine if Uncle Bobby was still driving. No way would Sneva have gotten past.
