Limeyglue Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Here is my latest completed build. Revell Anglia modified with a narrowed 32 Ford axle as I didn't like the kit one as the wheels were nowhere near the arches. Wheels and rear tires are Cragars from the AMT heavy chevy with modified backs and part box front tires. Engine is from the Swindler 2 Willy's. Paint is Tamiya light pearl blue with racing blue fogging. This is my first build using an airbrush and I pretty happy how it turned out. Thanks for looking Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misha Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Great execution of your paint scheme Lee. The scallops and fogged panels add greatly to the lines of this English import. Cheers Misha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Very, VERY nice! I hear that's not an easy kit to build but you've done a fine, fine job with it. AND you've managed to capture the authentic "'60s gasser" look better than many American-built models I've see. VERY well done and model on!

papajohn97 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Incredibly beautiful paint work, look’s like it came out of Larry Watson’s paint shop. You’ve mastered the airbrush in one model build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 WAY cool! Love the paint, as others have said - but the whole thing is just RIGHT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Love those Gasser's. Great job. Did you spray TS-13 over that Tamiya light pearl blue Paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just airbrushed some of the Tamiya acrylic for the first time and bought a can of the TS-13 to try. Care to share how you sprayed the TS-13? How long of a flash time between coats etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Lee, that s just stunning. Easily the best Anglia I have seen in many years. I have a soft spot for this model, having received a Skippers Critter for my 13th birthday and catching chicken pox on the same day - so I didn't have to go to school for the last two weeks of the year and I got heaps of time to build my model! I have to applaud you for the outstanding masking and fadeaway paint. it must be awesome to be able to look at this any time you want - what a great achievement!
