Looks excellent!

Thanks guys! Thanks! Actually all I did was buff it with a cloth to remove my fingerprints after gluing it all on.

Very nice looking Cobra!

Here's my outcome of the Revell Foose Cadillac Eldorado kit. I painted it with Anita's Metallic Galvanized Tin through my airbrush, and cleared it with Krylon Short Cuts Gloss Clear from the can. I then wet-sanded, polished, and waxed the finish. The top is a custom mixed shade of gray also using craft paints through my airbrush. The interior was airbrushed Mission Models Aluminum, with a darker mixture of the Galvanized Tin airbrushed on the inner seats and door panels. The body color was airbrushed onto the top of the console for more contrast, and the carpet area is the same color as the Convertible Top. I did the chassis in various shades including Mission Aluminum, and different shades of the Galvanized Tin, all through my airbrush. I used BMF on the side trim, and added plug wires on the engine for added detail. My frame, convertible top, and interior platform were slightly warped causing a few issues at final assembly, but nothing a few well placed clamps and clips couldn't overcome, except for the top. Otherwise this was a very nice and good fitting model kit, and a very enjoyable build. As always, thanks for looking!

All that was left was final assembly, which went fairly fast and smooth. I did end up having to use a chip clip to hold the front end down while the glue dried when gluing the chassis to the body due to some frame warpage. I ended up having to perform that task twice before the glue finally held. I also noticed some warpage/dis-formation on the convertible top, but all-in-all a pretty nice kit. you can see the frame peeking underneath the bumper in the first pic.

Nice work! Great detailing on the light and with the wire. The decal was a bit of a bugger for me, but like you said, it held together nicely while being moved around.

Looks pretty good!

Looks good, I like it! I'm partial to any Olds Cutlass though, owning a '72 and a '74 in my younger days.

Very nice!

Very nice!

Very cool, well done!!

Very nice looking Corvair's! Well done!

I spent the day today wet-sanding, polishing, and waxing the body and hood. I started with 2000 grit and then to 3000, and 5000 wet/dry sandpaper. After that I switched to micro-mesh polishing pads for 6000, 8000, and finally 12,000 before polishing with Novus #2, and a coat of Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. I couldn't resist a quick mock with the interior tub installed, I'm really liking how this is looking so far. If everything goes well, I may just get this one finished tomorrow.

Looks nice, and yes that is a nice molded-in color.

Nicely done! Those do look good in white and blue!

Nice work on all, and some great color choices!

Looks great! I have that kit as well and will build it if I ever come up with a color idea, LOL.

Nicely done! Those wheels and tires look great on it!

Looking incredible so far!

Thanks for the comments guys! I managed to get the interior done today. I also put the valve cover and air cleaner decals on, they're very subtle, but I like the look. Seeing the top of the steering wheel in these pics makes me want to try to repair it or find a different one, it was difficult removing it from the sprue without some kind of flaw. The attachment point was not very well located and was a little thick and the flaw is much more noticeable in the pic than in person.

I was able to spray the Krylon Short Cuts Clear on yesterday, and I'll probably wet-sand and polish it on Friday. I worked on the engine and chassis today, and managed to pretty much finish those. I'm debating whether to leave the wheels chrome, or spray some Tamiya Smoke on them. I'll finish the interior tomorrow and probably spray some primer on my next project, the Foose FD-100 Pickup after that.

Nice work on the grille/headlights, and on the chassis. Excellent looking interior, and the paint is gorgeous.

Great looking color and the white is a great contrast for it!

Just seeing this for the first time, what an excellent build you have so far. The final hood scoop looks fantastic, I think the stance is perfect as-is, and that color looks awesome. The Tamiya Metallics are great to experiment with concerning base colors.

I got the body painted in the Anita's Metallic Galvanized Tin craft paint today. I mixed in some Duraclear Gloss Varnish and a few drops of Createx Retarder for flow improvement. I sprayed it through my cheap dual-action airbrush at 22 psi, three coats total. I also mixed a Dark Gray for the top using Delta Ceramcoat Black and Apple Barrel Elephant Gray with some Duraclear Matte Varnish added for durability at the same psi. I hand painted the carpet area with a less-thinned cap-full of that same dark gray mixture. I also taped off and sprayed the top of the console with the Galvanized Tin. Since I changed my mind and painted the engine a darker color, I painted over the Dark Tin valve covers and air cleaner with the Galvanized Tin body color for contrast. Included are a pic of the un-assembled engine and undercarriage for an idea of my color contrast scheme. I'll get some clear on the body in a couple of days, and will be painting, detailing, and assembling the other parts until then.
