Perspect Scale Modelworks

This is Revell's latest reissue of the '81 Z28. Not a great kit. I tried to correct some it's many flaws. The kit interior is very light on detail and actually looks more like a Firebird interior. The owner supplied the interior from a Monogram 1/24 '80 Camaro which I finessed into the 1/25 body, added Berlinetta strips and piping. Wheels are from a Monte Carlo on Parts Pack tires. The T-tops were removed and I corrected the front and rear windows. Paint is Scale Finishes' Chevy Charcoal Metallic. It's built curbside so I didn't have to deal with replacing the engine. Thanks for looking. Hope you like. Let me know what you think.

I was on the fence about the vinyl top but have decided against it. Also thinking about turquoise.

Thanks for the input Jim. dropping the front end would certainly give it a more aggressive look but this one will sit at stock ride height all around.

Johan '65 Rambler with Revell '68 Charger wheels and Modelhaus tires. Will be built stock. I'd like to get your opinions please. Thanks

A while back I picked up some Revell Contacta Clear at my LHS. I just used it on my last 2 builds and it seems like good stuff. A little thicker than Micro Krystal clear but it worked well with a thinner brush than the one in the cap. It drys clear, pretty quickly, and has a strong bond.

Very nice Buick. Who made the wheels?

Thanks Jeff. Facebook ?. I'll give it a try.

Nice rescue

My hat's off to anyone who takes on a Pocher. Nice job.

This build is still great to look at. Anyone know how to see what's available from Too Many Projects?

That's wild!

Fantastic!

Thanks Jim

After a few setbacks and mishaps, this one is finally done. Paint is Scale Finishes' Chevy Azure Turquoise and Tamiya TS-13, Model Car Garage photoetch set, AMT Custom & Competiton Goodyear Polyglas GT F60 tires with parts box Cragars and wipers. Interior is Tamiya white primer with Mr. Model hounds tooth decals. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Interesting. I'm on the PC now and have no problems. Thanks!

When I try to like some posts I get this error message: Is it the site or my phone?

Great scratch building skills you have. Those wire wheels are perfect.

That is different. Does it float? Would make an interesting diorama, docked at a port

Thanks Tom. I was able to get a set of decals from someone on Instagram. Hopefully they arrive soon. I'll pull the rest of the decal off the door and apply the new one. I have to say how much I am disappointed would be the word, that I was able to get a quicker response on Instagram than I did here. Assuming this forum to be a model building community, it has always been my go to source. Perhaps the Instagram community is just bigger. I don't know.

Nice Woody you have there?. Where did you get the washi tape. I've been searching but none look as good as yours.

Blunder. I sprayed the decal with a thin coat of TS-13 and masked it off after the clear dried with Tamiya tape. Repainted the door, removed the tape, and got this; ? A small piece of the decal stuck to the tape and I have a nice tape line. I should have used the Post it method. I asked in the Wanted section if anyone has a set of decals they don't need. Got 1 response but I don't have anything they were looking to trade for. I ordered an aftermarket set found on eBay but it's not great quality and the lines are thicker than the kit decal. I have a set of Gofer Racing pinstripes that I'll try to modify. If that doesn't work I'll have to buy another kit just for the decals. ?

Seriously!

Thanks Ben. That's interesting. So the paint doesn't soak through the post it or make it more sticky?

Great suggestion but I think I'll tweak it a bit. I think I'll mask off the part of the door that will be painted. Apply a coat of clear over the decal. Mask the decal, and paint the door. Once all dry I'll shoot the body in a few clear coats, wet sand and polish.

Thanks for the suggestion Dusty. I tested the future on a scrap hood using the same paint and a decal from the kit sheet. When the Micro Set and Sol dried I burnished a piece of Tamiya masking tape over the decal and pulled it off without disturbing the decal. Then I sprayed one coat of clear. There doesn't seem to be any bad reaction between the future and the TS 13 but I can see an outline of where the almost dry brushed future was applied. I doubt the outline would disappear with more clear coats so I'll call that one a fail.
