  1. That car looks just right!!
  2. I was already committed to to reworking the Tamiya wheels to get em in the sleeves, so no surprise there. Where can I get a pair of the sleeves and the tires shown in your pic? Thanx Matt!! Brian
  3. I need some help figuring out the whole Pegasus wheel thing. I have this set of Pegusus 19" wheels and tires: I also have these Tamiya wheels, which are about .020" larger than the Peggy's, but fit in the Peggy tires just fine: These look pretty good under the PL Ford GT, but the rears need to be bigger to fill out the GT's rear wheel arch: How difficult are the 23" sleeves or stepped sleeves to fit over the 19" wheels? All I have seen out there are 23" sleeves and wheels with very low profile tires. Do they have a set of 23" tires with a little more sidewall to them? I only need the sleeves and tires for the rear of the GT, I just want to make sure I get the right set. Thanx!
  4. I'd go with Marc's suggestion of Tamiya white primer and a white paint. Not that I believe you painted a T-bolt or anything... 8)
  5. oh man, that turned out great!!
  6. Love the color...ya just helped me find the color for a '32 Deuce roadster I've had on theb ack burner for a while...
  7. That looks great!!
  8. Nice work Bill!!
  9. Only when Dan Peterson finishes a Thunderbolt... that tops us all 8)

    Tall T

    Very cool!!
  11. very nice - this has the makings of a killer build!! Funny you posted this, I was staring at the still stalled Ferrari 512s, and got to wondering about your T-70 project...
  12. Nice work, cool color combo!
  13. Looks good! But, is that, in the back ground, a Thunderbolt body? No, it couldn't be...Dan doesn't build Thunderbolts... :twisted:
  14. Nice! I've run out of things to say about this project...
  15. uh, wow!
  16. Nice job opening those panels!!
  17. Looks good so far, but that ain't no Thunderbolt... :mrgreen:
  18. Beautiful build!!!
  19. The dullcoat you mention, is that what they call "flat base"? If so, do you simply mix a few drops in with the clear to get the sheen you want? I'm tellin' ya, this Ferrari project is turning out to be a collection of model-building firsts for me!
  20. Thanx guys! What I have in front of me is a bottle of XF-69 Nato Black, X-1 Black, and X-20A thinner, all of which is to be used on the Ferrari 512s tires. I have a few other resin tires to practice on...this should be interesting...
  21. Great build!! Sonic Blue is one of my fav FoMoCo colors, and it looks killer on your Mustang!
  22. Picked up some tamiya arylic paint and thinner yesterday, any tips on mixing and airbrushing it? Can testors dullcaot be applied over it? thanx!
  23. Still not feelin' the big wheels, but the foil and the paintwork on the interior really bring it to life - nice work!
