Many thanks again for your kind words! Thanks Seth! It is an acrylic paint by Mr. Hobby, item no. H189. Applied by airbrush. No, it's built curbside, so no engine/ engine shot.

Thanks for that, Dominik!

Hi folks, I just finished the restoration of this kit:

Many thanks again!

I am using it aswell and just have on the '66 Chevelle I have finished recently. Pretty satisfied with this method but I will try the flat clear paint method soon, as I believe it's easier and the results shown here look convincing. Anyway, this is the Chevelle:

Thanks guys, I appreciate it.

Great work all over, Dann! I must remind myself to check on the WIP forum more often!

Sounds great, but it doesn't seem to be available for purchase anywhere, so... I am using some stuff called "Intermediate Gauzy Agent" by AK Interactive over Molotow. It's supposed to be a "shine enhancer" over metallics, but let's face it, nothing additional will ever enhance the shine of a good chrome effect paint. But I am looking at it as a good compromise. It takes maybe 10% of the shine away but it seals the chromed parts in such a way so they can be handled properly. And it still looks good IMHO. I used it over the Molotow on ALL the chrome parts on my '62 Corvette.

Many thanks for your kind words!

Excellent build!

Well done again, Randy!

Hi folks, this has been my first Lindberg full kit. I was pretty pleased with building it until body and chassis had to come together. After that, in order to get it look and fit right, it was screw clamps and superglue - a lot of it. I hope the result looks good anyways...

Hi Anders, you did a great job in every department! The luggage rack always looks good on a C3 vonvertible... A real "Black Beauty"!

Great save Mike, your Galaxie looks top-notch! I was happy to score the "AMT-Frog" release of this kit (unbuilt and complete) on Ebay - at only around twice the price of a regular Revell kit. AFAIK this kit was a re-release of the original AMT kit for the European, mainly British, market somewhere in the first half of the 70's. It seems to be widely unknown, as before adding it to my stash on Scalemates.com, first I had to enter the kit to the database...

Wow, this is a great model! Excellent work in every department. IMHO, this Tamiya kit comes with a big downside compared to other kits (like, for instance, the Aoshima one). And that is the molded-in "half-engine" detail instead of a complete, separate engine. That makes it so much harder to paint and detail it in order to make it look good. But you sure MADE it look good!

Many thanks guys!

As I wasn't too pleased with the position of the front bumper I did some modification and I think it looks much better now. The problem part was the "middle frame" between the grille and bumper. It's supposed to hold the bumper but it's shaped in such a way as to keep the bumper too far away from the body so there was unpleasant gap before. I cut the lower part off the frame so now the bumper could be placed in the correct way. This is how it looks now:

Many thanks for your feedbacks!

Thanks for your kind words! Thanks Bill. You mean the black part on the 69 GTX hood? That's painted.

Hi folks, I got another Mopar done.

Thanks Larry!

Thanks Carl, this is appreciated!

Very nice! That is already the second excellent build that I see of that kit on this forum, done as a "street version". I have mine to do yet but there is a big chance it will be done in blue with stripes, too!

Many thanks for your kind words!

Superb build all around, Anders! And I love the interior color!
