Here is the last model i finished, Tamiya's DBS in Quantum Silver.    The model goes together like most Tamiya models, the only issue is that there is a lot of masking to finish the paint underneath.

 

The color is from Scalefinishes and it lays down wonderfully.

Thanks for any comments.

Here is a model I finished not long ago using Revel's 68 Charger.   The model went together fine and I finished it with Scalefinishes OEM 661 Dark Green Metallic.   I did find out on GraveyardCarz that Dodge painted the black area then masked off and covered over the green.  However I did it backwards, so next time I guess I will paint in the correct order.  The bright work is all all Alclad

 

Thanks for any comments.

Here is the finished model of the AMT Chevrolet Pickup.  I decided to do a two tone after I saw one similar on the road.  All the bright work is Alclad II, mostly polished aluminum or duraluminum.  The green is Testors Citrus Green Metallic and the Yellow is Testors GM Daytona Yellow covered with Testors One Coat Clear.

Thanks for looking.

Hi

Just wanted to share some pictures on the 1950 Chevy Pickup from AMT.

Most of the parts are done, just putting it together and some final touch up is needed.   Not happy with the fit of some of the parts, as when you line up the differential, drive shaft and engine, the cab no longer sits where it is supposed to.

I still have to mask of the bed and spray the rails.  The glass still has to be added and I will pick out the lettering on the chevrolet emblems and on the tailgate.

The paint is from rattle cans, Daytona Yellow and Citrus Yellow Metallic with Testors one coat clear coat lacquer over that.   The metal work is Alclad Duralinium or Polished aluminum.

Hopefully I can finish it this weekend and post final pictures.
Thanks for looking.

Here is my version of a classic car.   I pretty sure it did not come in this color, but the rattle can grabbed me and I thought it would be a nice look in two-tone with a black accent. I am not a purest, I build models I like, so I do have cars in odd colors, planes in odd markings and tanks in odd gear, but then again its supposed to be fun.   Who says you can't have a Dragon Models Panzer III F in German Team colors competing in the 1939 Paris Dakar Rally - Heavy Vehicle Class. Yes I know there was no Paris Dakar Rally in 1939, but thats the point.

Anyhoo

The model is nice one, however it does have its own issues.   Mainly the front suspension does not fit the holes intended without bowing out the wheel alignment, and the rear bumper is too wide for the car, and just does not fit correctly.   This was done right out of the box, so not wiring and, yes we do have a flying altenator.

Would I do another, yes.   First time with the Testors one coat lacquer, and while its not quite 1 coat for me, it does dry nicely and does not have any orange peel issues.   The metal flakes are small enough to be ok in this scale.
