charlie8575 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 That looks good, John. For curiosity, what masking tape did you use? Some seem to be a bit more aggressive than others, and as we all know, some paints are far more fragile than others. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggie427 Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Beautiful paint John. A neat,precise build of a simple antique that shows your considerable skills as a builder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Beautiful paint. I love the tone of that red over the Silver leaf. I painted an 06 Mustang in Tamiya Mica blue years ago. I have some Silver leaf too. I may have to do a spoon test to see what the Mica blue looks like over the Silver leaf. Looks like I may have found my Candy blue for the accent color of my 41 Chevy lowrider pickup. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom Hearse Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 What are you gonna do with the windshield frame? Chrome foil or ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluhead Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Can't wait to see this one finished...it's gonna be hot! I had no idea there was such a fine looking Corvette hiding in that SMP kit. It really is a hidden honey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Barrow Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 What are you using for the white? Looks like you got good coverage over the red. I dig these Watson style paint jobs so much! I'll be trying my first one soon on a 62 T-Bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yes, I also want to know what you used for the white to get it to cover the red so well. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Goschke Posted February 19, 2013 Author Share Posted February 19, 2013 Thanks for the comments, guys! With way too many projects started, I'm really trying to see this one through to completion soon in spite of some setbacks. Marshall, the windshield frame and all the molding around the cockpit will be foiled. Brett and Tom, the white is a mix of Tamiya Pearl White and Racing White. Unfortunately I ran out of the Pearl White so there's really not enough in the mix to be apparent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
