Yep, this is great. I am waiting for this kit to finally arrive in Germany, and I have planned all along to go with a different non-racing design other than the boring options presented in the kit. You chose the most classic of all color designs for this type of car. Goes without saying, very well done.

Hi Ludwig, great paint job and detailing work, as usual!

Thanks guys, appreciate it! Thanks! Yes, and it's barely any work! Thanks to you too. I used some German stuff at first, it was good but dried in the bottle. So I switched to using cheaper Chinese stuff which has a much better bottle. https://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-UV-Resin-Ultraviolet-Curing-Solar-Cure-Sunlight-Activated-Craft-Hard-Glue/373059258920?hash=item56dc108a28:g:Qg4AAOSwO7dexO9M

Hi there, this model is sort of a collaboration between my German fellow-modeller Ludwig (YBlock292) and myself. I got this model from him a few weeks ago and the original idea was to strip its body off all paint and do it all over again. But the more I looked at it, the more I liked the way it was done. The choice of colors is nice and the interior is well done too. However, the model was done a long time ago and the body paint was not very shiny: So I tried some sanding and polishing and found that the enamel paint that was used back then could be restored to a nice degree. So I gave it 2 more days and a lot of elbow grease to get the following results: For a bit of added realism, I treated the headlights with UV glue, in order to give them a bit more of a glass-like look: On the rear end, I added some exhausts: And some images along with its older '63 brother:

Thanks for all your kind feedback - I appreciate it!

Great build Anders! Looking at this, it’s hard to understand why the Edsel did not sell much, much better. ?

Thank you guys, I appreciate your feedback! Thanks Monty. The color is Tamiya Metallic Red TS-18 shot over grey Vallejo primer. Like so many, I use the reverse side of my Exacto blade as a scribing tool, plus some kind of small PE saw for further deepening the lines. I also use Tamiya Line Accent Color to optically enhance the effect. Thanks Mike! See my post above. And no clearcoat, just GOP (good ol' polishing)!

Hi there, I got this one done. The Revell kit, built box-stock except for the antenna and the Rally wheels have been borrowed from an AMT '67 Camaro kit. Went together well.

Nice model, well done!

Great work and detailing all over! I like the other 2 aswell! -
Great in every department! Super job especially on the engine, wheels and paint finish.
-
Hi Ludwig, what a beauty! Super-detailed in every department. Lovely choice of colors all over! Great model!

Many thanks again for your kind feedback.

Nice job in every department! As far as I can see, you replaced the "chrome headlights" with glass parts - or did you use UV glue for the same effect?
-
Many thanks for your kind feedback! Thanks David! This is the old AMT kit which comes with only very generic detailing of the engine or chassis. But I like its body and the interior could be dealt with aswell. As far as the stance is concerned, the kit offers two setups, a lower and a higher one. I have gone for the lower one.

Thanks Sir!

Very nice build, great color scheme and detailing. To me it looks like you re-did the chrome parts with Alclad. Am I correct?

Thanks guys, I value your feedback!
