Ultimate detailing Steve. I had the same question that ol' Dave here had. Please elaborate on your carpeting process.

I keep whatever scrap wire I can find Joe. In this case I used a strand of four wires from a piece of automotive electrical wiring and kind of twisted it all together except for the last inch or so of the strand which I separated out into four different leads. I painted coat after coat of semi gloss black onto the twisted together part to simulate a black electrical tape wound harness and painted the ends different colors and routed them to where they were supposed to go. I can elaborate more on it if you'd like. No worries Mike and thanks!!! I've gotta go check out your builds man. 'Preciate you stoppin in and commenting brother Dan. Sorry I didn't get back to you today. I hit that section I was talking about and then after I made it back to work got snowed under. Great talking to you again brother.

Those wheels and that interior look PERFECT!!!

You'll have that repainted in no time Jeff!! That is some crisp work in that interior and a good looking paint job so far!! Just beautiful work.

I'll second that!! This is looking great Ray!!! That is one big model man.

Dang it Dan!!! That turned out great bro.

Finished the engine up this morning aside from a wingnut that I have to fabricate and put on the air cleaner. Glamour shots before she gets tucked away till a later part of the build. It's pretty close to my original 351W that I had waaay back when:

Thanks Carl. It's Joe my brutha. ?

I think I'd be in the same boat with you not knowing which way to go Dave. Looking good so far and really like the Continental piece on the decklid.

'Preciate the good word Robert!! Thanks Brian!! Bust out a build thread on that bad boy!!

Thanks Alan. I didn't want to overdo it with the plug wire boots. Too much and they look clunky. Thank you Jeff!!

I am truly impressed by the skill I see on display here. Great efforts and fantastic results!!

New levels of modeling every time I open this thread up. Glad to see you're still at this one ol buddy.

This is looking really good so far Bob!!!

Engine progress to date. Gotta touch up one or two more areas and this part will be done. Will be moving on to interior next.

That sure is a purdy car so far. Color and finish are tops.

Oh my GOSH man!! That turned out splendidly!!! Beautiful build Harry!!!

That's a sharp lookin' ride man.

That DOES look good!!

That looks freekin' awesome JR!! Great details, paint and stance.

Yeah....Revell.....They're fun kits and all but accuracy in their early kits was not one of their strong points. I built an old vintage 1/48 Monogram Dauntless a few years back and used alot of interior parts from a Hasegawa SBD to help it out in addition to tweeking what was there on the Monogram offering. All in all she didn't turn out too bad and consider it to be one of my better early paint jobs in regards to military aircraft.

Good looking Spit and it's an American bird at that. Extra cool!! Which kit is this? As far as Airfix goes, they have really stepped up their game in the last few years. Better detailing and just better kits all the way around.

Thanks Mike!! I do appreciate the encouraging words pal. Right??!! Thanks Roger!! I'm still gathering up the gumption to start on that Maverick. I've got this build and another aircraft build and then I'll be hopping back on that one.

Thanks fellas. Managed to find some additional bench time last night which doesn't always happen....but....I'll take it. Just puts me that much further ahead on the build. As of last night I've got the engine electrical all done. Now the only thing I don't really care for is the belt but with enough other stuff around the engine when it gets dropped into the engine bay hopefully there'll be enough distraction to divert attention away from it. Going to have start working on a new way to replicate the whole belt/ pulley system on my engine builds.

I always like watching your builds come together Eric. Will be tuned in to this one.
