Well we've about come to the end of the road so to speak.. This will be the last look update before we're done. I still have to put on the radiator hose and jump on the net to see if I can find a front plate that I like. All in all, even though I was going in a slightly different direction I kinda like how this turned out. I learned a little more about this kit as we went along, and actually have purchased another one to have another go at it at some point. Man, I just love these Monogram designed kits... Thanks for following along!

Thanks for the suggestion buddy.. but I tried that too... I did finally get this one photo to load. Had to load the picture and then go back and edit the words in... That's my progress for the weekend... On top of everything else not working here... Fotki is also stuck in a infinite loop of "proving you're not bot". Technology blows this weekend.

So I've tried like 6 times to do an update. Apparently I can't add any updates to this at least with any pictures.. oh well...

That is one of the best I've seen of this kit. That color is great for that body. You really knocked this one outta the park. Very nicely done!

Jim.. That's a sweet Road Runner buddy!

Very nicely done

Dang Craig... That came out sweet! Slick job on that paint!

Fine job with that black paint! Very nicely done.

Very nicely done

Nicely done

Clean build of one of my favorite kits! Very nicely done!

Very nicely done

Thanks guys! Very much appreciated. I've always had a soft spot for a gbody

To kinda answer your question... "guitar lacquer" can be used on your model. It's not "thicker" than anything else really. With the proper prep work, you'll be fine. Not being a douche... that's most likely because it wasn't properly filled and sealed before hand. You can finish a guitar in anything really, must like a model, with the right prep work.

Much appreciated bud

Man that color is awesome!

You have my attention. That is a nice looking color. You lucked up on that one. Anything I've ever gotten that was already painted looked like a 5yr old finger painted it.

I used white primer under it Actually, I believe it was tamiya's light gray primer

Are you talking about his one? It's gray

Tamiya pearl yellow maybe?

Thanks guys. Very much appreciated!

Thank gents. Much appreciated!

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

So I ended breaking out the Novus 2. It appears to be a success and we're back on track. This wasn't originally what I had in mind, but I'm kinda digging the way it turned out. So I'm thinking this is the direction I'm taking. All my other bits and pieces have been painted as well... Next will be assembly. Stay tuned...

This is the latest release of the Revell/Monogram Monte Carlo... and my first time ever building it. I chose to go with the custom stripe package this go around, with Pegasus wheels. Paint is Testors Extreme Lacquer Graphite Dust and Wet Look Clear. I liked it. I see me building this one again factory stock..ish... As always, thanks for looking... on to the next.
