Very nice!

Well done all around! Great looking interior!

Very nice! That had to be a monster to foil!

Nice Mustang! Very well done! I have this one in my stash as well, I just have no idea of a color for it, lol.

Looks like I'm going to have to try to mask off and spray the area on the driver's 1/4 panel that I tried to fix with wet-sanding, as my touch-up attempt with a brush was a fail. In the meantime, I got the engine wired and glued to the transmission, finished the interior, and detailed the taillight panel.

Well done!!

Very nice!

Well done!

Outstanding!! What a beauty!

Just the right amount of wear! What a thing of beauty this is going to be!

Both are coming along nicely!

I think I'm going to call it a day with the Testors Clears as well, I've been very happy with all of my Tamiya Clear subjects. Tamiya Tape is great as well, but it did lift the one spot on the roof. I usually try very hard not to mask over clear, but in this case my painting steps made it necessary. Hopefully I can store this situation in my memory banks and not let it happen again, lol.

Thanks for the tip, the spots are small enough that I'm pretty sure some Pledge will blend them in. The decals are under the clear.

Well done!

Looks great, very realistic weathering!!

Excellent Snake-Fu job!!

I honestly can't remember what clear I used on it, but it was Testors/Model Master lacquers, as I have never bought their enamel clear. I have three different cans of clear opened, Testors Glosscote #1261, Testors Extreme Lacquer Wet Look Clear, and Model Master Gloss Clear #1961, so it was one of those. I've had each of them for less than 2 years, but don't know how long they were on the shelf before I bought them.

Looking mighty fine so far! What did you use for the brake/fuel lines, they look really good.

Good looking Goat! I love Tamiya Sprays, they're almost like using an airbrush.

Thanks, unfortunately this has happened before with Testors clears, so I'm pretty confident I can make the necessary repairs and not have it very noticeable. I've had great results with Tamiya clears, and while I really try to match brands when painting and clearing, I may just be done with Testors Clears and go exclusively with Tamiya Clears.

That is certainly a viable method, but this is just a much easier process for me. Most of the time it's not an issue painting the body first, especially on cars with a black interior. On lighter colored interiors with a matching lighter headliner, I usually try not to get too much paint on the inside of the body. I always just brush on craft paints for the inside of the bodies and on the headliners. Because of that, I really like to get the body wet-sanded before that step as the craft paints are water based and I don't want to take the chance of losing some paint during the wet-sand process. I painted this one two months ahead of when I started to build it and wasn't sure what color I would be painting the headliner, but I did make the mistake of getting too much paint on the inside of the body.

Well done with some nice extra details! I like your backgrounds as well.

Well done!

Excellent build all around!!

Great job on both! Nice presentation as well, with the Hertz backdrop.
