1997 Ford Crown Victoria LX

17 May 2013 - 08:15 AM

Finished this curbside up last night. Sprayed factory Light Pine Green Pearl, with grey interior. Kit supplied tires with white walls from Vinyl Nation. The unmarked cop car kit represents a base model Crown Vic, so I went with the LX model. Only difference is the LX has black pillars (instead of body color), and chrome molding inserts for the sides. Noticed that the tail lights are not really correct out of the box. The semi transparent red needed to be continued to the bottom of the lenses, and the strip around the bottom is chrome foiled. One thing about these newer cars is the amount of shaded glass in them! I see so many of these built up that folks forget about that on.  And for Harry, it's got mirrors! One kit that had mirrors that were good enough to use.

Otaki 1972 Thunderbird 1/24

13 May 2013 - 10:59 AM

Otaki (Japan) kit, supposed to be 1/24, but I think it's more like 1/22. I bought it to keep, but it's too big of a scale for me. Neat subject, the only '72 ever kitted. Unpainted, not a glue bomb, nice vinyl top engraving, trim present, nice chrome, (does have some chrome wear under the grille), no electric motor, has stock interior, opening doors, seems to be missing door handles. Nothing a bit of sheet styrene can't fix. I'd like to trade it for three newer kits, or one vintage kit, or a few restorables, what have you. Below is my want list, but go ahead and shoot me other trade offers if you want.

'62 Ford Falcon Futura restoration done

08 May 2013 - 07:20 AM

Just finished this one up. You can see from the before pic that it was a mess when I got it. That's still the same factory Oxford Blue metallic finish in the after pics. Alclad II for the bumpers. Can't keep 'em all, so this one will be heading to evilbay.
