I just got the 31 Caddy body by Fleetwood kit yesterday. It is one of the most beautiful kits I've ever seen. Wow. They're priced pretty reasonable too.
If you use the createx paint their airbrush cleaner makes a good thinner from them. They are made for airbrushing so they usually don't need thinning( at least when they're fresh). Lacquer thinner is still very fumey. Their cleaner has very little odor and works well.
My last 2 builds I just envisioned what I wanted and started cutting. They may not turn out right, but I'm having a blast! They're on the works in progress thread. Chop top 34 ford and 55 el cami-no. Enjoy it. The more you try the better you'll get.
Not sure which way It's gonna go yet. "Stock" like Chevy would have made it if they did,or 'kustom" like I'll probably have to do it. Just my nature. Maybe I should take a poll.
I think the Electra came out in 68. Had a pan head bottom end and a shovel head top. I may be wrong though my biking days are pretty far behind me now. Cool kit for sure!!
I like the createx paints. It's true you can't really sand them. The up side is they wash right off with water if they aren't dry. I don't use them on bodies though. I just don't get the finish I want from them. Others may have better luck with them. I really like them for interiors and chassis and under hood work. They dry pretty flat so if you want a shine I would get the gloss or some Future. The gloss dries sloooow. It does flow out nice though. Hope this helps.
