peteski Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Nice clean build. Beautiful model! Nice color choice too. One thing that bugs me (and it is totally not your fault) is the out-of-scale size of the metallic particles in that paint. It probably looks fine when viewed in-person, but closeup photos bring it right out. BTW, did the stickers on the windshield come on the decal sheet or you made them or got them elsewhere? Also, what did you use for "chrome" paint? It looks good (and no bleed-through that I can see anywhere).

Ya, the flake is a bit big, but it is what it is, and it doesn’t really jump out in person like it does in pics ( cause pics hide nothing, lol). the decals on the windshield are something I bought from a vendor at a local car show, when I don’t use ‘period correct’ NY plates on a car, I use the windshield decals. As to the chrome paint, only places I used any was to touch up the spots where the bumpers came off the parts tree, and that’s the molotow pen. Other than that, anything chrome or near chrome that wasn’t kit supplied is BMF or testors aluminum plate metalizer that’s been buffed ( the exhaust for example). thanks again for the positive comments guys.

So the trim is BMF? I'm used to seeing a bit more warm-tone color on BMF (chrome foil). That is why I thought it was painted with something like Alclad II or Molotow.
