Porscheman Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Did you ever get one of those model you waited for so long and plan the colors and build, far in advance and everthing goes wrong? Well this is mine. It looks OK, but I had trouble with windows the ride height, hood ornament broke, you name it. Nothing to do with kit, which was excellent. It was me, old age I guess. Anyway, the paint is 2 tone green, using Tamiya's flat light grey green and flat light green with Testors Wet Look Clear top coat.

Ace-Garageguy Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Looks really good in those colors. Interesting idea to topcoat flat colors with Testors lacquer clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixties Sam Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Great looking Olds! The two tone finish adds a lot to the good looks. Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porscheman Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Thank you everyone for liking this one. It looks nice, but I don't think tt's one of my best. I use Tamiya's flat spray for a lot of my 50's s, the pastels are perfect for the time period and Testors clears go on smooth as glass.

Porscheman Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I finally got my Modelhaus Wide Whate Walls especially made for this kit and they are beautiful and easy to install. This originally was supposed to have them installed when I got the kit, but I couldn't wait to start. Now which look better? Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
