Yes, but it still rounded, whereas the proper deluxe is flat ..1/2 round top and bottom, with just a chrome square with rounded edges sticking out for the gauges. I think I'll try to scratch one up

Ray(cobraman)Kurn's build from a couple years ago, looks like it has the same standard style dash...

Ya ..I checked that first off

The Monogram '40 Ford pickup comes with a standard dash I'm looking for guidance on what kit, if any, would contain a deluxe dash..? Any help would be appreciated..Thanks

The kit dash looks like a 'standard', and what he has is the 'deluxe'....I guess

Welcome back to the bench Andy. Keep at it ..looks like recovery is going well ?

You're doing some excellent work on this Bill ! Following ?

This will be good ,..I'm following?

First coat of putty to get rid of the diamond pleat After sanding and cleaning 2coats of primer sealer and then a couple of white primer The tailgate is already pulling the red through This is his dashboard. Completely different from the kit supplied (looks like a deluxe dash from a coupe) I will need to customize this one

Nice clean job on the McLaren Steve Love seeing all these open wheel racers on here? Cheers

Nice job Pierre The back screen and extra details you added look Great !! Cheers

All of the additional detail and scratchbuilding is paying off Bob ? One of my favorite '70's cars ...Cheers

Nice work on the paint and decals Pierre??

Looking forward to what's next Thomas Interior looks top notch as usual ? Cheers

Nice stuff here Mike?? Can't wait to see you cram that plant in the back ! ....following ... Cheers

Wow you certainly are knocking those pitted areas down well?

Engine is looking great John ! I like the use of the split ring trick on the intake screens? And you got all those snakes to behave nicely...Cheers

I was just about to say that same thing..cruise around your local art supply store..Michaels..Hobby Lobby..anywhere that sells paints and canvases.. You'll find lot's of cool stuff like Liquitex Matte Medium, Flow aid, water colours, chalks, dyes....all of these can be mixed into an acrylic thinner or water (use a drop of dish soap as a surfactant) and can't possibly hurt enamels or laquers. It is always good to coat your base colours with a flat or gloss clear, before you start any weathering. And as Bill said... 'But as always when using unfamiliar materials, TEST FIRST before committing to doing something on a model you care about. Good luck and have fun

Nice clean build, Always liked that livery Nice clear pics too...I gotta work on that Well done ? Cheers

Looking very good Pascal, Very clean lines on your masking ? Cheers

Just read through this thread, and man you guys are killing these boat combos.. Very nice work gentlemen ! Cheers

Absolutely beautiful Mark! Amazing amount of detail??

Thanks guys? I did a lot of research (many hours staring at pictures and following wires) on this car, and it just seemed proper to add the plumbing if was there...make it look as real as possible. What's next? We'll, I do have a Renault RE20, or maybe Niki's 312T, or Andretti's Lotus 78...hmmm decisions decisions..lol Take Care and have fun at the bench...Cheers

Thanks david, I've checked my stock of evergreen/plastruct, and it looks like I'm making a trip to Dundas Valley Hobbies to pick up something suitable..1.0mm flat stock is just a little too big and 0.4 round rod doesn't suit. Got the louvers off the hood and tailgate and the stake holes are filled..cleaning up all the part lines on the body and bed as well as... Cheers

Nice job Gary !
