jjsipes Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I picked up this sealed kit at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals this year for $12. Primed and painted Tamiya Italian Red, brushed painted the wood (need to apply decals in the panels yet) with enamels. Used a light Tan and the dry brushed Dark Tan for some wood grain. Used Leather color for panels in case the decals are a little small for the panels. Cleared with Tamiya Clear. Debating on Black or Dark Tan roof. Interior will be Tan of some sorts.

stavanzer Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Looking Good, so far.I'd go with a pale tan roof. Car won't get as hot in the sun that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Looks very good. You didn't ask but i think tan would be a better choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Hi! Great combo. I suggest a very LIGHT colour, because I painted mine a medium brown, and the small windows let surprisingly little light in,,, As you can tell, you can't distinguish the details. Just a suggestion... CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Decided to go with Testors Fabric Tan for the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsipes Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Working on my wheel and tire choice. From the Revell 32 5 window coupe. Will be using the chrome rings and caps. Need to touch up white walls after popping wheels in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 That roof looks very good. I like the wheels Choice, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I agree with everyone else on the Roof color. The Tan color better patches the color scheme and using the Fabric Style spray should offer a good texture to the finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I agree, that Fabric Tan looks great and has a bit of texture. I used it on a recent project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Tuttle Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Hm, interesting. I must say that I like this colour combination better than the blue/black used on the original Speedwagon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
