Nice direction. Like you, I've had this kit several times, but never built it. The billet was my turn-off.

Why build an air compressor when there are many readily available for you application at reasonable prices out there?

I use a Bluehawk 2.g air compressor , with my Paasche VL. It has 6 feet of line. I can usually set it @ 30, and control it at the brush. I do have to adjust lower sometimes if I am doing shading.

One of the nicest I've seen...

Lookin' good. That's a great kit to jump back into building. There's a few "bumps"...but your on the right track.

Stay away from the Monogram 1/24 kit....

Excellent build!

That's just Kool!

That's a very nice build. I bought this kit when it first came out, for "parts". I wanted the American 5 spoke Mags, slicks, and "Wedge" engine for other projects. I bought the 2nd kit to build stock. Your's is an inspiration. Thanks for the Share!

Some "Clears" are very "Hot". You have to let the base coat "set" for a few days. And, as others have said...humidity has a play. Don't try to sand fresh paint...let it alone...

Nice job on a tough kit to make "look right".

AWESOME!

I like your direction...but, I would have to have used a Pontiac "mill"...

BONDO glaze. Hands down. You may have to apply/sand several times, but you don't grind the plastic down.
