  1. Looks good! Nice job on the detail painting.
  2. Model Master lacquer goes just fine over Rustoleum 2X primer. I primed a bunch of bodies in August with the Rustoleum 2X Flat White, Light Gray, and Flat Black primers and painted over them with Testors One Coat(Extreme) lacquers, Model Master lacquer and Tamiya in September with no problem. The problem you run into with the Rustoleum line is with their clears as they are chemically hot. Their primers and paints are fine, although the paints are a little thick. Also, here's a spoon test using Testors Green Metal Flake Enamel over various base coats...

  18. Nice color. I'm partial to the factory wheels myself, but all except the second pic look good also.
  19. Looks great! I'm not normally a fan of red cars, but those Chevelle's wear the color splendidly.
  20. Very well done! I really like the effects that the gold base coat/non base coat have on it!
  21. That's pretty sharp! Nice work!
  22. This one is done in Model Master Citrus Yellow Metallic over Testors One Coat Lacquer Diamond Dust, and cleared with Model Master Gloss Clear. Some of the extras include ignition wires, vacuum advance line, valve stems and white letters on the tires from Fireball Modelworks. I initially wasn't going to put the spoiler or louvers on, but went ahead and put them on "temporarily" with some clear elmer's glue. The interior is a custom mixture and is done in craft paints. I printed my own gauges for the dash, but my printer wasn't up to the challenge for doing the black background and they came out with a green tint. At least they go with the green theme of the car, LOL. They actually look like they are illuminated at night, so I'll go with that. The chassis was sprayed with craft paint also, as was the "overspray", although I don't think I put enough on. Even though the interior lacks detail and I would like to see some more suspension parts, I really like this kit. I did three of them in my younger days that I don't still have, and will probably add more to my current collection. Thanks for looking!
