peekay Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 In the early eighties I got back into model cars after a long hiatus and this was one of the first that worked out OK. I was working for a Swiss auto importer/distributor at the time and one of our painters showed me how to use car paint with an airbrush. I'd also just discovered Bare Metal Foil, without which I might never have revived my boyhood interest. I built it kurbside because, although I've always loved cars, I've never been mechanically minded. No internet research, of course, but I guess photos of 57 Chevys weren't that uncommon .

I did the scripts first with BMF then painted them with Tamiya clear yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
