Crizila Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 AMT's latest venture in to Super Stock. Over all nice kit. Lots of extras, including Torque thrust mags and several decal schemes. I went with the early version of his car. Paint scheme was probably the hardest part of the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit Basher Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I bet that was a challenging paint job. Looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 That is one convincingly, beautiful build. Are those wheel weights on the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I like this one a lot.I just painted mine yesterday actually and had several areas with bleed under from the red in several places. Not sure how I'm going to proceed, if at all with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how I'm going to proceed, if at all with this one. I anticipated this same problem ( bleed under ) and had it in several areas also - so I decided not paint the white, but left it per the plastic mold color. It was then relatively easy to scrape off the red with a #11 knife where the bleed under occurred. I clear coated it all anyway after the decals were installed.

Misha Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) One way to prevent the bleeding is to spray a clear coat (gloss or matte depending on the finish under the tape) that will seal the tape join, then follow up with your contrasting colour. It is more work, yet worthwhile.Cheers Misha Edited March 21, 2017 by Misha spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never saw that pic before. Cool! Thanks. Interesting that back in the day nobody was wrinkling slicks on the starting line. Wrinkle walls were not around back then.
