Darren B Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Thanks Dave, While the paint is drying between coats doing some detail work on smaller stuff, the engine is painted and that I colored gold. Give it some contrast, but here is the overflow tank that I made and radiator cap, just have to glue other end of hose to cap.

hjracing Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Darren you are doing an amaizing job! How do you modified the radiator that looks so real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Thank you Jose, scale auto magazine a while back had a how to in it on how to modify them, I believe it was nov 2013 but basically you cut out the inside of the radiator build up slats inside giving them a little space between them then glue detail master radiator face material over top of the slats on both sides. Its easy and looks a lot more realistic that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 Thanks James I am loving your version of this ford f100 i actually was going to weather mine thinking it would look cooler with the foam pieces but went the root beer route after all.
