I'm actually pretty excited about this one. It may not be a perfect match, but I think I can make it work for replicating the Targa from "The Gumball Rally" with a tweak or two.

Nice job! That is a great color!

Here's some progress pics of the Boss 302. I painted the chassis with a mixture of Folkart Terra Cotta and Decoart Cherry Red craft paint. The engine is Apple Barrel Admiral Blue, and the exhaust and transmission are Vallejo Model Air Aluminum. The interior was airbrushed with Apple Barrel Black with a coat of Pledge brushed on the seats, dash and door panels. I painted the steering wheel in Apple Barrel Nutmeg Brown over the black and dabbed silver into the divots with a toothpick. The woodgrain and gauge/clock faces are the kit decals, and there is some BMF on the trim. The body was first painted with a mixture of Decoart Orange and Cherry Red, but I wasn't happy with the dried color, so the next day I mixed a batch of Decoart Orange and Folkart Lipstick Red and sprayed it over the previous color and it looked much better. Today it got cleared with a couple of light coats of Tamiya TS-13 so I can apply the decals and foil.

Fat fenders and frogs galore! Great stuff, thanks for sharing!!

Good stuff! Thanks for posting!

Nice pics of some very nice rides!! Thanks for posting!

Looks pretty smooth and shiny to me! Nice job!

Very nice! I love the big 'n littles and the stance. I also remember well the classic box art that you speak of.

Nice looking Boss!!

Awesome looking Skyline, and a beautiful color for it!

Great color on the Cobra, looks real nice!

While this is a bad-a$$ Camaro, the full roll cage in an open top convertible just completely takes away from the car, and dare I say looks kind of dumb. Great pics of some nice looking cars regardless of my opinion on the Camaro, though. Thanks for posting them.

Good looking Batmobiles on here! I just have the Polar Lights Pre-painted Snap Together 1966 Batmobile kit with some added details like BMF on the window trim, and the 1989 Keaton Batmobile with figure.

Thanks all! Much appreciated!

Looks great! I love that color, I just painted a '68 Dodge Dart with it!

Awesome job! That looks fantastic!

Here's Dom's Charger from the first Fast and Furious movie. The kit interior isn't very accurate and the movie car didn't have slicks for rear tires, but it's still a pretty good representation. I used Tamiya TS-14 Gloss Black and cleared it with Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear. I'm pretty darned happy with the shine on this one, which was accomplished by wet-sanding the clear with 2000, 4000, 6000, 8000, and finally 12000. I then polished with Novus #2, and applied a coat of Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. I didn't do too much detail wise, but I did use BMF on the roll bar and window trim and added ignition wires. This is a pretty nice kit and was really fun to build. Thanks for looking!

Great looking Cobra so far! I've seen some really good looking results from builders using the Duplicolor 1K clear already.

Yeah, my wallet's already in serious trouble! I do want a couple of the Convertibles still, but the Coupe is my preferred choice for the '63-'67's, and I could easily do with about 5 of those. The '78-'81 Camaro is one of my favorites, and I could see myself going with about 5 of those as well, especially if Revell does like MPC did with the '79 Firebird and includes 3 different colors on the decals. Depending on the timing of the releases, I most likely won't be able to splurge all at once though.

Thanks for gathering and putting up all of this info. Revell has my head spinning right about now with the '37 Ford Pickup 2 n 1, '69 Camaro SS396, Brian's F150 SVT, '67 Corvette, Porsche 911 Targa, 1981 Camaro, and the further down the road '71 Mustang and '71 Olds Cutlass. Moebius has my attention with the Ford Ramp Truck, even though I just bought the Chevy Racer's Wedge. Atlantis has some very cool and interesting stuff, but most of it just doesn't pull at me much at the moment, personally. I may have to start selling some plasma pretty soon to pay for what I want to get when these kits come out, lol.

I agree, I've done three paint jobs with Rustoleum 2X paints and all three turned out extremely well.

Very nice! Great color for that car!

Thanks Mike, the black Charger does have to be one of my best paint jobs. I actually used a variety of cheaper spray can primers for these as I took advantage of being able to spray outside. I don't remember which one I used for which car, but I used Rustoleum 2X White Primer, Brite Touch Gray Primer, and Touch N Tone Gray Primer. I used Rustoleum 2X Black Primer for the Black Charger. I have used the Stynylrez a lot in the past, and I really like it. I just bought a new white, gray, and black 3-pak last month and will use it throughout the winter months.

I finished decaling and clearing the last of the bodies I prepped for cold weather building. Now they'll sit in their boxes until it's their turn to get built. Ironically, my next project is the Revell 1969 Boss 302 that hasn't been painted yet because I am going to try to mix up a batch of Calypso Coral for it using some craft paints. First I have to finish Dom's Charger that I've been slowly working on during this painting process. I just finished wet-sanding and polishing it with Novus #2 yesterday, and put on a coat of wax and applied the BMF today.

Same here, blows my mind that a corporation that big still has their cashiers hand-ringing items on the register. Infrared scanners are not that expensive, and one person can handle on sale/off sale maintenance at store level. Saving on price guns and labels, and extra man hours to mark items seems like it would offset the cost of updated checkouts.
