Looking good! Love the blue too.

These are in the AMT 70 impala kit, kinda close I think….

Progress….

The offer still stands. Been there, done it, probably have the T shirt around here somewhere, lol.

More paint ……

A lot of what I read in his posts are the fear of messing up an expensive kit, yet he was willing to buy all the stuff to air brush, guessing two kits could have been bought to equal the cost of air brush set up. I get the searching the net for videos and what not, I get a lot of the questions he’s asked, but at the end of the day, your first build is not going to be astounding, it’s gonna be a mess ( of sorts ), mistakes will happen, paint finish will not be showroom like, and inevitably there will be a glue smudge or fingerprint somewhere, it happens. I will admit to the original poster that some of your topics have amused me and made me shake my head in wonder, BUT, I will offer the following to you, if you are truly worried about messing up a paint job on an expensive kit, PM me and I will send you some car bodies to practice on, free of charge, this way you can fire up your equipment and paint without fear, all it will cost you is some paint and some of your time, no worries about ruining what you really want to build. I can honestly say, until you do the work, and experiment some, it’s never gonna happen. I have models I’ve painted 3-4 times……, and ultimately in different colors, like anything else, it’s a learning curve, but if you don’t actively participate, you won’t achieve your goals. Again, I will send you clean, fresh bodies to practice on if you would like.

Sorry to read about the clear coat issues , hopefully you can get that sorted out without too much drama. The interior looks terrific!

I think you’re going to have a winner, those wheels/tires look great.

it’s a body line, should be body color

Gorgeous! I was very close to doing the same color scheme, but as I am doing a 69 Camaro in fathom green, I opted for the Marlboro maroon on this one.

It is, I work there? (21 years)

Looks great! flaming orange might have got you closer, added a pic for reference.

Your build may very well be what stuck in my head as far as the wheel choice, as I remember a discussion about them on here. and please post a picture or two of your build for inspiration.

Interesting concept, years ago I built a complete running R/C 4wd truck out of spare parts I had laying around….

Wow! I see a lot of wildlife around my area, but nothing like that……

Don’t think, get out the knife/saw/dremel or whatever your preferred implement of destruction is and start cutting, haha! Once you make that first cut, you’re committed, I find that helps the process? worst part is, after reading this and seeing some pics, I now want to build a tubbed version of this kit……

Ya, I had to put the wheels under mine the other day as well to get a feel for it….

Airliners have kind of piqued my interest as of late, got these a few weeks ago,

Pretty much echo what everyone else has said, everything looks fantastic, and the colors are just gorgeous.

I like the look in that last pic. as to the pro street frame/tubs, I’ve used the revell 67 pro street kit ‘back half’ under a 59 caddy, 41 Plymouth coupe, a Lindberg 66 chevelle and got one mostly grafted onto a moebius pick up. That particular back half has a nice cross rail in front of the wheel tubs, makes for the perfect place to cut, so you end up with a great area to attach the existing frame of whatever it is you use it under after you cut the back half of the kits floor/frame off.

Coming along nice, love the colors, and that dash…….., gorgeous!

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words. Dan, yes, that jumped right out at me , lol.

Well done, looks beautiful.

I dig it, going to be a cool ride when done.

Looking good, that interior is sweet!
