nice job !

I LIKE IT !

Nice build. I like it.

Good start.

I like it, nice detail.

Well thanks for all the good comments. Unfortunately I was not very happy with the way the decals turned out, so I changed them. I feel better about the way it turned out this time. The next thing is to do the interior and the final touches to the exterior.

Yea, it's posted under 1955 Chevy Top Sportsman http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=95374&p=1297036

Latest picture, adding the decals slowly on this one. I'm still waiting for some to arrive in the mail. Anyway here is the first look. It's not exactly the look I was going for, some of the original decals broke apart, so I improvised with what extra decals I had.

It's the Revell firebird match racer kit.

Nice !

Yes, first I do a light sand, apply a gloss cote, the tire decals then a black wash to the letters (to look a little worn) and then finally a dull cote. It does create a good effect.

Well the blue paint has been applied. I will start to add some graphic decals while I wait for the sponser set to arrive.

Here are the first pictures of the paint which was started yesterday. I went with a light gun metal front end, the rear will be metallic blue. You can also see the exhaust peeking out from the bottom of the fenders. Sorry the pictures are not the best.

Here is some work in progress pictures. I decided to go with a blown supercharged engine. Don't believe it's as accurate as it could be, but i like it. Still need to work the exhaust through the front fenders.

Now we have for your viewing pleasure a 1995 Ducati 916 AMA Superbike ridden by Freddie Spencer. I used a Tamiya kit with some minor body modifications and i also scratchbuilt a rear rim. The decal set came from Studio 27. Thanks for looking.
