the builders that I know that like rattle cans like them for convenience easy to use instead of a air brush,plus most don't know how to use one,but yes that leads to buying spray cans with more product in them( Rust-Oleum,than the little hobby cans(Tamiya Mr color ect) I get that its cost issues, but its getting into compatability issues hobby paint vs lawn furniture paint with plastic models,also could be a logistics issue some people are miles/hrs away from hobby stores(not to mention them closing down a lot so hardware stores are a lot closer fwiw Michaels craft store closed by me and that where I used to get my testors spray paint but now always paint with a airbrush

yes Mike,I was going to do it in black,but I figured the white tail stripe wood go good with white roof

Well, I finally finished it. It was a fun build, it was built for a build off on Instagram, my first one ever as I am new to Instagram lol I never have built this kit before but it’s an easy kit and goes together well but it needs upgrades, and I did that in the form of: fireball models correct A-12 six pack hood, iceman collections 3-D resin six pack Carbs and air cleaner set up, fireball model door, handles, wheels, and tires, and resin dana -60from scott @ futurattraction and I stole the exhaust tips for the back out of the 69 Dodge charger kit from Revell as the kit exhaust tips are way too short and are crappy ! The last pic I threw in with it of the 70 hemi cuda I built couple of months ago. well onward to the next build off lol !? edit please ignore the crooked door handles as they are pinned on and not glued because i always put them on last because of being resin and fragile and with my luck i would get supe glue on the freshly painted doors!?

Some more work done over the weekend, getting closer to the finish line, had to make a new upper radiator hose because the kit one was way too short, and while I was at it, I added some brake lines to the master cylinder and some factory markings on the undercarriage
