Well I couldn't help myself...spent the morning wet sanding all the mould lines, attached the front and rear valances, Primed with white sandable (Duplicolor) waited 3 hours and wet sanded some Ziggy hairs out of it and shot it with Duplicolor Royal Blue... Tested the decals by cutting out the license plates, sprayed 1 (top one) with Duplicolor Acrylic Lacquer clear,...2 light coats. After letting them sit 4 hours, I dunked them in the water and kept them wet until they started moving....they didn't...not one bit all afternoon. I kept massaging them with a wet paint brush, but nothing, so I went in with a new #11 and was able to get the blade between the decal and the paper...the untreated one (bottom) exploded..the top one came off the paper grudgingly, but had all the paper fluff on the back. So I turned it over and started cleaning...whew. I went ahead and shot the rest of the decals with clear On a happier note, I built a '59 Impala (Monogram 1:25) some years ago for my parents anniversary (their wedding car) sealed up hood and totally forgot I still had the 409 sitting in a box. I will need to exchange the carbs and intake to a 4 barrel, but...I have those in the stash... It's starting to come along...Oh and a big shout out to TJ (Jollysipper) who has offered to help out in the glass and chrome department.. Woohoo! thanks TJ Cheers

Man, it looks like you could fall into that paint job! (2thumsup)

A real beauty!!..... paint, engine, interior, finish, tires and wheels,.. all top notch. Well done Sir.

Super clean !!

After Dan raced it, he sold it to a British driver who later turned it into a tow/farm car and put an inline 6 in it... It was then bought by another Brit who did a full body off resto on it... If you get a chance, watch the YouTube video at the top of this post....worth the watch

That's the real car Mark...Haven't started the kit yet...just doing research and tracking down parts so far... Going through my decal stash, I found out I kept the decals for the Impala, and found some suitable meatballs and numbers from the amt Sunbeam Tiger kit. I need some suggestions on clear coating decals...not sure these 40 yr. old? Impala decals will stand up to water as they are.....

Sinister looking ride Derrick... Nice job

Really nicely done Rich !! Gotta love a nice 1:12 F1 kit...So much room for activities !!! Love the old Marlboro livery cars

Wow...how can you NOT open the hood...you've put a ton of detail into that engine (2thumsup)

And now I've found out that Tamiya makes this... Ranging in price from $50 to $275 .....gonna have to save up some pennies

Back in the 60's when Gurney was racing F1, alot of the drivers would race in the support races before the big F1 race. This car raced at Silverstone in the BSCC (British saloon car championship),...MkII Jaguars, Minis, Volvo Amazons, Ford Zephyrs, stock production cars...

Waiting on decals for the Bronco and of course...Squirrel !!!! So I was watching Barnfind Hunters on The Tube of You, and Tom Cotter comes across this Looked at my shelf and saw this .. yep So on we go....picked up this kit many...many years ago from who knows where ..missing glass and chrome, it was sitting in the stock car pile, measured for nerf bars, window screen and big fat dirt tires....but hold on... The frame and suspension were glued in badly by the previous owner,... left all the seam lines...yay...not too bad tho Found some steelies in the gift that keeps on giving, ..the venerable,... Revell ...( say it with me) '32 5 window 2in1...added those to some parts pak black walls Not too bad.... Now colour... to the paint fridge Top row 3rd from the left On the right is True Blue Duplicolor, on the left Royal Blue. same...I'm thinking left, Royal All of this car is stock as the story goes, brake ducts and stiffer shocks not withstanding ..so really,.it should be a simple oob with some decals...right .? ...the sound of that 409 thru straight pipes tho... Hope you like it, Q.C.&C.s welcome

Looking good with her shoes on Mark

I constantly spilled the Micro Sol/Set bottles until I donated this 1 1/4" socket from my shop

More little things completed... Spare mounted.. need to get a proper spare from Joseph next time I order... Scratched an Optima battery Need decals Installed BMF heat shields, exhaust and labelled all 4 paws Decals are settling in with some Micro Sol... So that's about it until the decals come in from STS... I'll be back

God, I wish spring was Here....2.5 ft. of snow....

Thanks Pierre, I am happy with the Tamiya grey/yellow dusting to simulate road dust...now we wait for decals to show up from STS decals and I can continue on the body weathering.

That came out great Anthony !! Really impressed how you crammed that engine in. I'm guessing you have a dog...lol I can't keep my husky's hairs out of my builds either. Cheers

It seems like every time I finish one thing, there are 10 more to do... It's almost glue up time, got some seat belts started Bush bar done Most plumbing done in the back..trans cooler installed Got the 'windscreens' done Not much left... Oh tire decals.... straight pipes.....next time

Y'know Matti,...I've been thinking the same thing ...JPS livery on a kick a@# black street car, for some time.. can't wait to see how you do!

This is Duplicolor Clear Acrylic Lacquer over Duplicolor Acrylic Lacquer Toronado Red ...mildly wet sanded with 1000g and Novus 2 and 3

I like the slanted B pillars...like Bil said , it looks fast when parked..lol Keep it up !

I got this... Looking awesome Chris !!

I gotta admit I'm way behind on this as well Tim... I've missed my eye candy injections from your shop..lol Seat frames look great..are you tinning the brass ..or...? Sorry if I missed the explanation... I am sure that Lenco will look like you've used a shrink ray behind our backs once it's done. Awesome work man, keep it up!
