cobraman Posted October 19, 2020 Author Posted October 19, 2020 I had planned on using the kit decals if I do the white number 4 car.

What do I know I’m a Ford guy. ? Those decals are the VRM sets. Lots of extras and several versions on each sheet. But the ones shown are not roadsters. First set is basically the Mecom cars whcih had a different hood that in the kit. There is a resin Mecom hood for like $3 from HRM. Second set has the Delmo Johnson car (before the Revell version came out) and stripes and the Jim Hall (I think) # 2 that is white over blue. I'm pretty sure the 67 car was a solid white car. No shame in being a Ford guy. Ok maybe a little... LOL
cobraman Posted October 22, 2020 Author Posted October 22, 2020 Here is where I’m am now . Doing the best I can to stay true to this race car .
SfanGoch Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 For any future builds, I recommend Model Car Garage's Corvette Grand Sport Detail Set.

cobraman Posted October 22, 2020 Author Posted October 22, 2020 Thanks guys. Joe , I looked and that PE set and it is very nice but me and PE parts do not get along very well. ?

LOL. That keeps me from ordering as well. I have LOTS of little frames with various parts missing. I can deal with the larger parts, but the smaller parts, I should just cut them loose and fling them into space from the get-go.
cobraman Posted October 22, 2020 Author Posted October 22, 2020 Old age,, poor eyesight, fat fingers that always get glue on them .Keep me away from the PE parts as nice as they are. There are 3 sets of PE louvers included in this kit and took me quite awhile to get them together. My wife said I made up new cus words. ?
gbtr6 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I agree they are small. I do 1/43 stuff too, and even the big parts are small. A magnifying visor, and toothpicks help. If you set the PE fret on masking tape, painters tape, then cut the parts, they don't fly. Just take an Xacto knife under the part and slowly pick up. Having a PE folding tool is great too. Perry
65slotcar Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Ray , great job so far. very clean build. round piece on roll bar is an upper third brake light (ahead of the there time) a quick easy trick is to add a red lense. i think i used one from a semi truck model.
cobraman Posted October 23, 2020 Author Posted October 23, 2020 I painted it silver and then used clear red over that.
cobraman Posted October 24, 2020 Author Posted October 24, 2020 Marching forward . Next step will be to clear coat . Maybe tomorrow . Decals applied a short time ago . Setting solution still working .
cobraman Posted October 28, 2020 Author Posted October 28, 2020 Car is done . More pics under class .
sflam123 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 That is beautiful!! Fantastic job on this kit!!
