yes! its a great clear!

i used MCW 2k in their bottle with hardner

well done!

Got the body decaled and clear coated IMG_3119.mov

very nice build!

thanks the iceman 3-d stuff has a lot of detail in the a-12 upgrade,comes in 1/24 0r 1/25 scale for$11.00 cant go wrong!

thanks dan!

looks nice!,...is that alpine white? ...i like the alpine white ,going to start painting some of my mopars that color, instead of the high impact colors

scot popham at futurattractions has those i believe?

rb motion closed? when? i got some stuff from him last sept?

Some more progress on the engine, the iceman collections 3-D carb intake air cleaner set up is one of the best I’ve ever used very realistic, even the drains on the air cleaner, housing, although I added my own hoses , also got the vinyl top painted, I used MCW textured white paint. The stuff is great. I use it for all my vinyl tops .now on to wet sanding the body decals, clear coat, then some bare metal foil and possibly assembly time ,i am plugging along on this and should make the deadline barring no un forseen disasters ?,this is my first ever online build/build off, very exciting!

oops i need a correction,the tires/wheels came from fire ball,the 6-pack carbs/air cleaner came from iceman collections,its 3-d stuff,joe@fireball makes great resin 6 pack setups i use also also

looking good so far!

thank you!, lotta work!

those carbs/tires/rims all came from joe at fireball model works

Oops forgot the body picture, it’s B5 blue from MCW enamel paint, it will have a white vinyl top.

Well, as if I don’t have enough on my plate, I decided to join a group build off on Instagram, it’s a 1969 A-12 superbee here are some pictures of the work in progress, I put the rapid transit 70 Cudas on hold for now. I have one month to finish this. What did I get myself into??

very nice!

very nice! great job!

I have been stripping my bodies lately with brake fluid, I use enemal paint with Hardner, and it works well, after it comes out of the brake fluid spa. I touch it up at some 2000, 3000 grit sandpaper and then wash with Dawn dish detergent and scrub with a toothbrush prime and then paint never had any issues after.

i sold a few working used airbrushes i have had on e bay and so far no issues with them,and i have bought one on there a cheap badger 150,the air valve was junk,got a refund for it.

that is one of the better renditions i have seen of that car! the only thing i would have done different (please dont take this the wrong way),i would have used holly carbs and not used pie crust slicks in the rear ,but understandable if that is all you had to work with, well done!

tack mist coat to me came from people using rattle cans,i never subscribed to that theory with my airbrush painting, although i only paint with enamel,if i was going to use lacquer i would do a couple of mist coats and go slow/steady with the coats until i am satisfied with the paint job as in the past i applied too much too soon and got into problems with lacquer paint job. ,as far as enamel goes i only apply a initial base coat first then blast the paint on in multiple coats until im satisfied with the results(being careful to not lose body detail).

this reminds me of the aurora racing scenes 1/16 scale garage/funny car kits they used to sell back in the day!

that came out sweet!! ,after watching this build i have a mpc 72 cuda and also have a bunch of revell 1/25 kita and testfitted the chassis under it,thanks for the tip!,its 100x better than the mpc chassis!,now i have a dana 60 under it and better front suspension detail, i also have a harts parts resin shaler hood for it that will work out good
