Dr. Cranky Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Thanks, everyone. Yes, you know, it's not like I'm making a big deal about a kit that didn't exist until now! LOL!

Dr. Cranky Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I just had to share this as I continue to do some research on colors and body styles, etc . . . all good possibilities for this kit: LONG LIVE RUST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 This is very interesting build, can't wait to see Hudson completed. Keep it going, I'll be watching this one. And those Classic Chevrolets are looking really good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Virgil, I think you really aught to just create a CBP and then sit back and watch the action. The same for the Revell 48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Rob, I thought about that, but I don't want to just sit back and watch! I want to build too! The frenzy of energy that goes around, comes around! Says EYEGORE! He's like the YODA of the Lab-RAT-ory these days! Cheers, DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Ok, I know this probably isn't the most original of ideas, but I hope to get a couple for these: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 I am hoping someone (Slixx Decals?) will put out a version of these decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I am hoping someone (Slixx Decals?) will put out a version of these decals. I doubt Slixx will, because nowadays if it ain't NHRA, they don't do it. There are others like Just Want To Build A Model that do make very nice NASCAR decal sheets, so we can only hope!

Dr. Cranky Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Thanks for the great eye candy, Sean. I bookmarked it! LONG LIVE RUST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I'm still in the 'piddling with it' stage- After I removed the 'paddles' from the kit wheels, I test fit one into a resin whitewall I had laying around. Next up is removing the copyright engraving, up over where the rear axle goes- And the other, up on top. Normally, this would not be visible unless you opened the trunk... so there's a clue for you as to one of the modifications I intend to make on mine.

Chuck Most Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Oh, don't worry- I've already devised a way around that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Ditto, I've got a Dremel and a folder full of small rounded files Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 (edited) Got rid of the mold lines on the body- the rear ones are pretty faint but showed up with primer and a little wet sanding. Not sure if any of the trim or handles will join the Jimmy Hoffa and the mold lines just yet. Guess we'll see shortly.

Dr. Cranky Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Chuck, you've got my attention. I trimmed off those front fender lights, the door handles, and some of those light mold lines on the body, but I left the side trim . . . I hope to be able to do something interesting in the paint booth shortly. Keep the eye candy coming, everyone. Let's see if by the time Halloween comes around (Wow, a Halloween Hornet Build!) we have a bunch of these suckers build to show Moebius what happens when they put out a new kit! Cheers!

rbarton Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Interesting build. Can't wait to see the finished project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Well, I've got mine in white Plastikote primer, but I am in total fear of what color or paint system to use, but it will come to me . . . in the meantime, things are drying nicely. Stay tuned in for progress pics . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Also, I've decided to go with my own mixed color, a red, using Auto Air Colors. I am doing some plastic spoon tests before I make a final commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Some progress so far: Here's the body in white primer looking pretty smooth . . . The gas cap door comes as a separate part on this kit, so it could actually be glued open, but I didn't do it like that . . . (maybe the next one.)
