peekay Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Another of my early eighties builds. As with the 57 Chevy above, paint is Sikkens automotive base/clear coat system with my then new airbrush. I don't know why I painted the engine yellow (it should be red) - the rest of the model looks reasonably accurate so I had apparently seen a photo or two.

MrObsessive Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 That's a real beauty Peter! This is one of Monogram's nicer kits from that era and still holds up well today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 Thanks for your comments everyone, very much appreciated. The Monogram 1.24th kits of this period had their faults but they were virtually free of fit problems. This applied to the 53 Chevy and 41 Lincoln too, both of which I also built at the time.

Oldcarfan27 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 That's an 80s build? Sure has held up well. If you were building THAT good 35 years ago, how great are your skills now? Paint looks like it's on steel, not plastic. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick, my job in the eighties gave me access to a professional spray booth plus good automotive paints and excellent tuition in their use with an airbrush. I also had good eyesight and a steady hand. None of this applies any more and I struggle to get a good result these days - but I still try.
