Oh Tom mentioned our 1st group build ! Both of us locked down during pandemic from working..and Jerry Reeter came up w the perfect decals for the chaos of 2020. The elusive TP . Here's my mirror Prostar from that build

Thanks ! I was very impressed with the color Thanks for following along ! That little can of mystery was awesome...only one faint area I can see Tom has been knocking out his paint too !!! Wait till ya see his ...forget our plans

So the back story on this...typical daily model chat w a good friend about a future project and suddenly we're doing a mini group build ! Tbill and I ..with the never ending support of our squirrels ..are building Revell 69 Camaros . The plan was hashed out for both to be mirror builds. Same kits , paint , details everything . The hunt began for the proper kit..meaning I'm searching because my stash of kits is embarrassing lol. My quest to find a good Revell kit was fraught w trouble..apparently this kit was backordered everywhere . A chance search on eBay turned up a suitable kit . I neglected to notice the molded color on mine..and later this would surprise me opening the box and seeing metallic dark blue ! I nearly called off the build because everyone knows yellow is very transparent..what to do....this wasn't going to be an issue I later learned ..keep following The paint was another issue...Daytona yellow is the go to color , which has sadly been discontinued by Testors. I wanted to avoid using the airbrush , keeping w a flea bomb for painting this . I picked a close yellow and paid the tab . A quick stop by MCG had their etch set in the cart along with other goodies ! So it begins.. my kit..in beautiful blue lol Hmm..how is this ever gonna be yellow .. A quick clean up of the faintest mold lines ever, I sprayed the body w 2 coats of tamiya fine white primer. Followed up with 3 coats of tamiya TS-16 Yellow. Now..I really don't know what sorcery they brewed up in that tiny can of magic..but folks..it worked beautifully Thats all I have finished right now ...stay tuned for our adventure

The RD would be a great option ! There's a CH hood floating around too, but not sure how it mates up w R cab . -

Your really making progress! Those pe deck plates worked out good for the extension, really can see the detail on them I agree ..gotta shift the supports . The a- car better get the green treatment under the hood , it is hauling a load of "the brother of muscle " ! -

Exciting news for building either way..msrp doesn't scare me away , and offers another opportunity to support the brick and motor shops that still exist . -

MPC gravel hauler
gotnitro? replied to the goon's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Nicely done and excellent weathering. Very road weary appearance. Both together really tell a story A load suggestion for future builds , cat litter..non clumping stuff . Toss a block of foam in the dump bed then add litter ! Cheaper than RR stuff , and looks scale -
