MadKaw6 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I restored this car from a built one. It was a black and white at one time and then redone as a civilian car. It's pretty much box stock. The only additions are some detailing in the engine compartment ( spark plug wires, radiator hose, and heater hoses). On the front seat there's a box of donuts, cup of coffee, and a Detroit Free Press. I painted it with Model Master enamel and Alclad. I have some pictures of it being restored if there's any interest in seeing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 That looks fantastic! Always loved this kit but have yet to build mine. I'd be very pleased if it turned out this nice. I'm particularly impressed with the clean separation lines between the white and blue. Is this just very careful masking, or do you have a special method?

I mixed up my own blue for this car. It's Model Master Grabber Blue with a few drops of white in it.Thanks everybody for the compliments.
