Another AFX car?, Oh why not. The Paper Tiger Plymouth
gtx6970 replied to gtx6970's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
I remember seeing a picture years ago. What i believe was very early in this cars life. And it was orange and still the cross ram intake . And that car had the big blue pentastar on the door and white steel wheels. But I can't find that picture now -
Another AFX car?, Oh why not. The Paper Tiger Plymouth

Thanks, Gotta love the white fineline tape , Little hard to see white tape on a white car though. So I had my fingers crossed it came out like I wanted/hoped I think I can use the tires and wheels from the Revell Sox- Martin 67 GTX with very little mods . So we will see which way this goes Revell tires on the right. They have exact same width. Maybe 1/16" shorter OD . As far as doing both versions. That would be a ways down the list for maybe someday build -
Its on to the next one These kits are all basically the exact same kit , just different body. So I started a mini assy line with about 3 different kits. In regards to power train. Chassis. Interiors and so forth Makes it easier to go together quick so to speak This is number 2 in line. And probably MY all time favorite drag from that period. Tamiya Paints, ( deep down I think the red 'should' be a tad darker. But I'll live with it ) And Im not 100% decided as to which color blue I'm going to use just yet. Might do a few different hood scoops and see which looks the best. I'm undecided as to just 'WHICH ' version I plan shoot for just yet. Mostly in regards to how the car is lettered, carbs versus Injected and/or wheel choice .. I painted both hoods, Just in case

I'm playing with paint colors today. 3 very different colors All are 2 coats Tamiya Metallic Orange TS 92 just with 3 different base colors TS 11 is a dark maroon color on far left TS49 is bright red in center Last one far right is just the white spoon as base Over a very different base color yields 3 distinct colors Spoons are marked as to base color. I'm really liking the center one for a very near future build( not the next one) First. Under florescent lighting And yes. I know I can order the actual color for airbrush work. I'm just playing with what I have here / handy
