gotnitro? Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Just waiting for better temps to start color, I've decided to build a spray booth while I wait. Fumes and over spray linger in hobby room w window cracked , need a safer way to spray indoors . My health isnt the only one effected now I'll post pics soon Edited January 25, 2018 by gotnitro?

I'm actually really pleased how the body turned out..the victory red will definitely make it pop! ! Hope ya like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike77 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Great progress Jeff! Quick question since I'm doing my first KW Aerodyne in years...how hard is it to get the interior tub in if the headlight piece is already attached to the cab? It'd make things easier on my project paint-wise to do it the way you're doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 The tub fits right in no problem. I squeeze the door area slightly and it pops right in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotnitro? Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Just a peek..mike 77 saved me a ton of extra work by suggesting using the decals for front curve patterns...I was rushing and used reference pics to guessimate them...bad idea lol. Here's the start before I checked them...I'm using vinyl automotive tape for tighter curves ,this stuff is super flexible . The line along the cab bottom will likely run slightly low..I'm trying to keep the line level from cab to bed. I probably scribed the boxes low to start. The wrecker body just gets a white bottom under the tool boxes..everything else is red. I'm gonna chrome the diamond plate tops just for WOW . The kit fuel tanks were binned ,pvc pipe replacement were made to eliminate those pesky seas After I triple check the masks..maybe more, it's onto its red color coat..see ya soon Jeff Edited January 28, 2018 by gotnitro?

gotnitro? Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Glad I went back and checked my masking ...I cut the decals from the sheet and marked new location then remasked. Very time consuming but beats the visit to the stripper pond lol. I ended up using 1/8 tape and 1/16 green for it ..gives me more room for decals to cover the separation line. All ready for the victory red !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotnitro? Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Well...I promised pics...enjoy I probably could've gotten the frame completely painted if it hadn't ended up .all over my support hand lol..another cans gonna be required . The cab has some mild blushing I hope will mellow out ...there's no clear on yet The tool box tops will eventually be chromed..there's entirely too much red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKerry Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Looks awesome Jeff!!!! As a doc you should use a little salve on that rash, take two aspirin and call me in the morning!! May need to use a little bench therapy to complete!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
