Zippi Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Finished this one up earlier this morning. This was a fun build and the second Revell 56 pickup Pro Street I've built but this one is a bit different. The engine came out of the AMT Hotwheels Monster Truck kit. Wheels & tires are from Jays Resin Wheels 1948. I airbrushed the wheels with the liquid chrome from a Molotow pen then dried in my Dehydrator to give a more Matte look. Body paint was a custom mix of Tamiya Black Green and Black. Paint and clear was all Tamiya products mixed 50/50 with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner. Polishing was with Meguiar's Mirror Glaze fine-cut Cleaner and Liquid wax. Hope you fellows like this one. As always, comments welcome.

espo Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Beautiful looking paint work and like the unusual color. The interior color works well. Great looking engine detailing and the Pro Street setup looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
