Modlbldr Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I started painting this yesterday as a quick build while waiting on things for my other two projects to dry. Going to be just as intended, a Slammer with different wheels. I airbrushed Pure Ice "Free Fall" nail polish for the pink and HOK Plain White with a light coat of Testors White Lightning for the Pearl White. I'll be removing the tape in an hour or so. Hope there was no bleed under. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 An excellent start! I'm excited to see it with the tape pulled off too! I would've shot the white first and then the pink, but it looks good in the pic above to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to go with Graphite metallic instead of the Pearl white. So, here it is. No bleed under and I don't think it looks half bad. Should be able to finish this by Friday or Monday.

I actually just taped off the white and sprayed another coat of the pink. I had a couple of spots that I didn't like. Looks much better to me now. Into the dehydrator and BMF and clear tomorrow.

Sam I Am Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Looking awesome Tom. Do you ever give the panel lines a wash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to do it on this one because of the white. I have some grey panel accent that I may mix with a bit of the white and a bit of the pink separately and see how it looks.

alan barton Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 To my eye the delivery body has a better balance than the coupe body in the original kit. Will be interested to follow this one! Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
