Chris White Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I managed to find this one on sale for $9.99 at the LHS, as well as the Vallejo Model Air paints. It turned out ok, but the Model Air paints dried to a flat finish, and after adding clear, it orange pealed. I then attempted to cut and buff out the clear and burnt through on the hood. Oh well, live and learn, I guess. I did add Pegasus wheels, lowered it slightly, added BMF, and painted the air cleaner cover with Alclad II. Looking forward to comments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyD340 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Real NICE Chris, I think it looks good, in spite of the orange peel!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It looks good to me. I really like the underside. I once tried building that kit and somehow now only have the wheels and tires. The car didn't survive. I think I painted it and stripped it then, weathered it, then distroyed it probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedfreak Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Looks great Chris, great eye appeal. Many aspects of the model are superb. That alclad looks great, like real metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Even with the orange peel, super-clean build...the wheels are perfect, just the right amount of drop, fantastic detail underneath and underhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
