This is my second set of Jay's wheels. They're awesome! The flame masks worked great! I'll start a WIP thread tomorrow showing how they look. I'll also have a video on my Youtube channel, Stumpy Grump's Scale Speed Shop, showing most of my process.

Earlier this month, the Mrs. let me pick out a couple of model kits at HL for an early Father's Day gift, along with a few supplies from my LHS. I also was fortunate enough to have been able to order some 3D printed parts to try out on future projects and to add to my photo background.

Well done! A very classic look for this one!

Looks good! Yes, I had to make an adjustment on the wheels and tires on my build of this kit as well.

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

Thanks! Thanks! I wet sanded with 6000, 8000, and 12000, then waxed. I usually don't go any lower than 4000 when wet sanding Createx. I have a how-to video on the 4050, which can pretty much be copied for the 4053, on my Youtube channel.

Nice looking Mustang! Cool colors!

Well done! Sharp color!

Thanks guys! Thanks! I think some of the issues this kit has gets blown way out of proportion. I actually find it to be an enjoyable build, as I've built three and would happily build more.

Looks fantastic! Don't see very many of these being built!

Very nice and a great color!

Thanks guys, much appreciated! Thanks! I wish I could remember which kit the headers were in, but the memory isn't what it used to be. I do know I had to grind and file the frame to get them to fit. I actually used the small block from another of the Z28 kits when I built the B-M kit, so I don't know how those fit on that one.

My recently finished AMT 1970 1/2 Chevy Camaro Z28. It's painted in Tamiya X-31 Titanium Gold that I thinned and sprayed through my airbrush. It's cleared with Createx UVLS 4053 High Gloss Clear. The interior is painted in a combination of Decoart Honey Brown, and Apple Barrel Khaki and Nutmeg Brown. I used Bare Metal Foil for the window trim, and added door locks, heater hoses, and ignition wires for extra details. I also scratch-built the exhaust system, and alternator and power steering brackets. Aftermarket products used include tires and carb from Fireball Modelworks, ignition coil from Morgan Automotive Detail, and air cleaner from Off The Sprue. Even though this kit does have it's downfalls, I feel that it gets an undeservedly overly bad rap. Yes there is some flash and the headlights need to be cleaned up, as well as a couple of minor fit issues at final assembly, but with some patience and some test fitting it can yield a very nice looking finished product. There is a lot of molded in detail, and the sub-assemblies build-up nicely. If anyone is interested, I have some in-progress videos that show how I tackle the issues I came across while building this kit on my Youtube channel, Stumpy Grump's Scale Speed Shop. As always, thanks for looking!!
