thank you jeff,yes the f-8 green is my fav also

cool build!

if painted i sometimes scrape and use c a glue,or sometimes no scrape and ca glue

These are a slew of builds I completed a couple months ago, these are painted with MCW enamel paint in the high impact/factory colors I like, what is not shown are the resin Dana 60 rear ends underneath all of them, I used fireball models, resin six pack, carburetors, and steel rims/poverty caps, I also made one into a hemi car go mango orange one! I made a couple of boo-boos on these you can see the air grabber decal for the hood is put in the wrong spot on one of them, I forgot to paint the front valance spoilers on one of them lol and I nicked the paint job buffing it out after I wet sanded it with my dremel tool UGH but all in all I’m very very happy with the way they came out! The colors I used are plum, crazy purple, F-8 green, go mango, orange, saddle, bronze. these are revell 1/24 scale 71 GTX kits, onward to my MPC 1/25 scale 71 roadrunners to finish!

who makes that winchester gray color? mcw has a gunmetal color in enamel that looks a lot like that color,i have 3 mpc 71 kits and thats one of the colors i will be using,your build came out awesome!

i use mr hobby leveling thinner,it has a retarder to self level and slow dry times down a bit but still drys fast and never have any issues shooting from my air brush,just this last week i experimented with store bought lacquer thinner and it works just as good but dries a little quicker, i use to use the mcw hardner for their paints, but since using the store bought lacquer i dont use the hardner as much now ,i got the tip from watching old donn yost videos

seems like you are doing a fine job of a vinyl roof start,I use .015-.025 size plastruct rods,then I spray It with MCW textured finishes,they have black,white colors,its lacquer and goes on easy and dries super quick and looks great!

Mike from MCW moved down south but still has the resin lighweight interior,...only down side is since his move the resin stuff got way backlogged and he's about 4 plus months to catch up!,he shut down the resin ordering on his web site so you cant even browse for the time being!..btw very nice build you got there! I have the parts on my shelf and the starliner kit to use the chassis that someday I will get around to building.

i think its the white color primer is the issue,every time i use the duplicolor white primer it comes out like that, last time i used duplicolor white primer was about 8 yrs ago i stopped using it and switched to tamiya,must be the pigment in the white i guess?

very sorry for your loss, those builds look great! i was tempted to get the harts conversion for my 70 amt kit,but decided to leave it as a 70 instead of a 71

thats looking great!

i use mcw paints all the time and sometimes their lacquer line when i can find the color i want in enamel,i use the enamel hardner only to speed up my drying times as i dont use a dehydrator,i also use the enemal clear a lot(looks yellowish in color in the bottle)as well as their 2k style lacquer clear and i have used the hardner with the enamel clear,but it seemed to backfire as it took months to dry and the paint was still a little soft?i wrote to mike at mcw and he did not recomend using hardner with their enamel clear,only lacquer thinner like mr color or their mcw brand as that will speed up the drying time a bit

if its who i think it is on e bay they combine shipping,i also buy direct from mcw,it ends up being the same cost except when you buy directly from mcw they have a full stock and you dont have to wait to get the paint colors you want

really cool project,cant wait to see it when its done!
