Hi,

I'm about ready to to start Kinetic's Maxx Pro. I have looked over the posts and can find lots of discussion on possible solutions to the sink marks on the sides of the body. However in none of the great looking builds that I have seen is any discussion of what was actually used to correct the sink marks or if they just disappear under paint. Any advice on was actually used would be much appreciated.

Thank
Russ

From what I have seen, they pretty much disappear under paint. I also have the kit and don't plan to do anything to them.

Sean,

Thanks that is what I had expected, but everyone seemed to be talking about how they would fix them. Yours looks great! I'll go ahead and not worry about fixing something that is not really broken.

Thanks
Russ

Thanks Russ. My build log is here if it's of any use. Two main things to mention:
1) It's easy to get the front wheels so they can be turned in sync
2) If you want to put jerry cans/watter cans in the rear racks you will need to thin down the cans (or leave out the middle support of the rack) and you will need to fin the cans before you fit the rear windows.

Good Luck
Sean
