Your photography AND your modeling skills rank up there with some of the best I've seen.

You are definitely right about that. I built an Arado 234 Blitz bomber that took me over 3 years to get across the finish line. Construction AND paint job liked done me in on aircraft modeling.

Good lookin' set of builds Joel. That F250 pretty much took up the entire display area. Looks great man.

I'm pretty handy in regard to reference. I usually build alot of late war Luftwaffe stuff. Try finding correct painting reference for THAT stuff. lol I really do appreciate your help and will be looking for that Squadron Book as well Alan.

I'll add my name to that list as well.

Oh HELL yeah!! Why I haven't seen this one pop up my radar screen, yet I just simply do not know. But mister.....you have been FOUND!!! I'll be following this one for dang sure Francis!!!

Hey Daniel, I sprayed the bottle assy (which is a separate piece on this kit) with Tamiya Rattle Can White Primer. After that dried I masked off and painted the tanks with Model Master Acrylic International Orange. After the Orange had completely dried I sprayed Model Master Acrylic Flat Clear with a small drop of white mixed in and thinned with Model Master Acrylic paint thinner to make it look less like paint and more like the coolant was inside the reservoir.

I've already picked up that first one you listed but may have to check into that second one. Thank you for posting these Alan!

Thanks Alan! Well folks.....my Camaro project is getting closer and closer to the finish line. In the mean time I thought I'd post something in here to provide some sort of update that I actually WILL be starting this kit next. For starters, after opening the box from HELL (meaning the used kit) I found that this kit has already been started as well as violated in the process. I know......what did I expect from an already opened box that's 20+ years old already. We're gonna call this "Exhibit A" PE fret had parts cut from it .... and PE braces/ rigging was totally destroyed by the last "builder" during installation.... Interior had been "started". I'm really hoping that this was a 10-year-old that attempted to build this kit. and most of the parts were cut from the sprues and alot of parts were missing. Fortunately, the seller was honest and refunded the money that I spent on this kit. I've not always been so lucky. This......is "Exhibit B" . A newly sealed kit that I used the refund money from "Exhibit A" to purchase. I purchased a set of canopy masks from EZ Masks (Chris Loney in Canada) and will give these a try. To my knowledge....this is the only offering for canopy masks for this kit. and now for the BIG news. I found a P6 Catapult on Shapeways that I had printed up for me to display this completed build on. Now I just need to find reference pictures for this beast in order to paint and weather it up.

Wow! And you come in with a bang with that small scale kit. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one James!! Will be watching.

Thanks Paul! I appreciate the comments Chris!

Man that is CLEAN!!! I don't know what area to comment on first??!!! The paint, detailing and overall construction/ look of this car is just all that...............AND a whole bag of party mix!!! Job well done on this car.

Thanks Carl! 'Preciate you tuning in Mike! Thanks Greg. It's definitely got its fair share of challenges but with a little elbow grease (and a whole lotta love)....they can all be overcome. I've been working on the engine bay for the last few days. When dealing with black in these areas, I tend to use a lot of different shades and add every detail I can to keep it from being boring. Bit by bit things are shaping up in here.

Un...........frickin' believable!!! I learn something every time I tune in to one of your builds Steven. Beautiful work potna.

This is turning out to be one nice build so far Justin!!! I'll be tuning into this one.

All of these turned-out great Steve!! I'm going to have to get around to building a 64 Bel Air for my dad. The 63 and 64 that you posted up here look awesome.

Very unique and interesting build that turned out to be a great looking model. I never even knew these cars existed.

I can't get over that paint finish!! Looks like glass!!

That is going to be a great color to go with this one JR!! I'm with Bill Newcomer on decanting paint and shooting through an airbrush. For starters, it gives me alot more control and secondly, the spitting paint is no longer an issue. Coming along nicely on this.

Well gang, it was NOT a very productive year for me numerically. Usually I pop out 3, maybe 4 but this year had two holy grail builds that I put a lot of effort into. One was a repop of a car that I used to drive when I was younger in fastback form. I owned three 67 Mustang Coupes and always wanted a fastback, so I built one as I would've built it had I owned one. My AMT '67 Mustang GT Fastback: The real car: On one of my visits back home earlier this year, I re-visited the first two cars that served me well in the early 90's. Car #1 is in the background and Car #2 in the foreground.; The second build for the year was what was going to be a first car for me as a kid but dad quickly said "Not a chance kid!" when he saw the 350-4speed combo in the car. I've always loved the lines of these early 2nd generation Camaros. The AMT 1970-1/2 Camaro Z/28 And then there's the ongoing build that I've had out on the bench for the last 4 months or so. I'm now about 3/4 of the way through the build.

That right there was a good year in modeling for you Claude!! Fantastic work!!

That's a wide range of subjects right there Tony!!! That Duster and Grand Prix caught my eye. Your quality in builds sure made up for the quantity of builds. Amazing work brother.

VERY nice collection for the year Rodney. All beautiful rides bud.

I'll be tagging along for this ride Jeremy. I've rebuilt a couple of my older builds in recent years and I still have two untouched builds, one of which is in my display case and looks like the day I built it 36 years ago. Like Carl, I kept them in the old Jo-Han display cases for 3 decades. I think I still have a couple of those left that aren't all yellowed. lol Looking forward to seeing what you do here.

Cool paint scheme Bob! Love the overall look of this car as well brother.
