That looks amazing! Could easily pass for the real thing!

Thanks guys! Thanks! Here's some better interior pics.

Looking good, really liking that color1

That is wicked! What an outstanding looking ride, and that engine looks right at home in there! They should make a real one for Cruella DeVille's new ride!

Here's my version of Monogram's 1999 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra. This was actually a pretty decent kit and was pretty fun to build. The paint is a custom mixture using Chroma Molten Metals Copper, Decoart Cherry Red, and Delta Black craft paints sprayed through an airbrush. The body was then taped off for the Decoart Extreme Sheen Obsidian/Delta Black mixed stripes. The clear is Krylon Short Cuts Gloss also sprayed through an airbrush, although that was an adventure that fortunately came out pretty good in the end after lots of wet-sanding and polishing. The interior was sprayed in Apple Barrel Dark Granite Gray craft paint, them masked off to spray with Anita's Glossy Black craft paint for the two-tone. The engine, chassis, exhaust, and suspension parts were sprayed with Mission Aluminum, Anita's Glossy Black, and Green Stuff World Chrome. After assembly, the kit wheels just seemed too tiny, so I opted for the optional wheels and tires from the current Revell 1970 Pontiac Firebird kit. I wasn't sure on the chrome wheel look, so I sprayed on 3 coats of Tamiya Smoke TS-71 to knock down the shine. I really like how this one turned out. Thanks for looking!

Very nice!

Very nice! Great color!

Excellent! Great looking Bug, and I love the trailer!

That's a great looking color! I painted the Revell '67 Chevelle SS396 in Testors Arctic Blue Metallic Enamel that is a very similar color.

I too find red to be the hardest color to truly capture with my camera.

Very nice! Excellent work!

Nice color choice on a fantastic looking Cuda!!

The engine, dash, and whole interior look fantastic! The wheels and tires look exceptional as well!

Very nicely done! The wheels look great on it!

Looks awesome! That's an excellent body/interior color combo!

They're nice kits with slight changes to parts content (bumpers, wheels, etc.) and different decals with each re-issue. I've done two different ones and really enjoyed them both.

Well done!!

That's a beauty!

Nice!!

Nice work!

That looks fantastic! Well done!

Looking good Rex! Great color combo!

Looks good!

It certainly can't be airbrushed as bottled, as it's on the thick side, but many different types of thinners can be used to get it to airbrushing consistency. Plain blue automotive windshield washer fluid, Pledge Floor Gloss, any acrylic thinners from Vallejo, Tamiya, Createx, etc. I've even seen plain water used, but haven't done it myself. I started out thinning with the washer fluid, which worked very well, and the Pledge which I was hit and miss with. I now use a "home brew" mixture that I found in a Facebook group that is 3 parts distilled water, 1 part 91% isopropyl alcohol, and 4-5 drops of glycerin as a flow improver per 8 oz. batch. This has worked phenomenally well for me and I will use nothing else. These thinners will work for any of the craft paints, including Anita's, Delta Ceramcoat, Folkart, Apple Barrel and more. Those craft paints are mostly all I use anymore. I generally start at a 50/50 mixture, but usually end up at around 60% thinner give or take depending on the thickness of the paint. If you use any thinner besides the custom mixture or the Pledge, a flow improver/retarder is highly suggested to help with the flow from the airbrush and to avoid having the tip dry on you. I've used Testors Lacquer Clear, Tamiya TS-13, and Krylon Short Cuts Gloss Clear over the craft paints with great results, just making sure to use a couple of lighter coats to start with. I also use Decoart Duraclear Varnishes, Createx 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, and Pledge Floor Gloss as clears from time to time with nice results as well. I hope all of this helps ??.

Pretty nice truck! Well done!
