Thanks for the link, Bill. I actually saw this WIP some time ago, but did not remember now that it was related to the Road Runner. Impressive work, by the way!
-
If you don't mind, Bill, could you post some pictures to show the "rear end dilemma" one of these days? Not being a "native observator" of real US cars, let alone from that glorious era, I mostly get my input on flaws like this from this forum.

Great result Dann! And a great job on correcting all the kit's shortcomings!
-
Hi Dann, very nice and detailed interior! Would have loved to see a dashboard image...
-
Hi Tom, I believe that one's got slight orange peel...
-
Thanks again! I appreciate your comments.
-
Great work! Looking forward to seeing this one finished.
-
Very well done. I got this kit back then too, but since my interest in European supercars got lost a bit lately, I traded the kit away for some other kit(s). I still have the Aventador SV kit however and plan on doing that someday.

I'm not an expert in American car history, but to my knowledge, the Marlin came in 1965, so 1 year before the first ('66) Charger. So one might say the Charger's fastback was probably inspired by the Marlin...

Thanks for all your kind feedback, folks!

Beautiful work on both of them... Yap, Alonso's hybrid nightmare versus Senna's best ever car...

Hi folks, I finished the Eliminator yesterday. It was a bit of a fight, especially as far as the body color is concerned. I learnt that yellow is one tough color to get a good result in. Here come the images, hope you like it:

Very nice Marlin, Ludwig! What a great fastback... Great job on those long BMF stripes!
-
A modern classic. Beautyfully done! Aoshima or Fujimi kit?
-
That's a great result... awesome racecar with a beautiful livery. I have yet to do that in another livery. Your nice model would deserve more photos and maybe some closer ones...
-
Very nice, very clean!
-
Great work, Hugh! Looks very nice! I hear you!

Seems to work, at least for Tamiya Castrol kits/ decals. This guy used it: https://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?t=25817 There may be a small difference however, as I believe we are looking at a Hasegawa kit? -
I agree, too. BUT: part of the problem is the slow curing process. I did some testing lately painting window trims with Molotov instead of using BMF and dried that in my food dehydrator for 2 hours or so. It was much more resistant to being handled then!
-
AWESOME work, Kurt. This whole project and WIP is the exact opposite of 'boring'.

Painting over Molotow chrome?
Tommy124 replied to Ben's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Note that those colors are available from Tamiya BOTH as acrylics and enamel paints. Whereas the acrylics are sold in the usual round jars with 10 (mini) or 23 (large) ml contents, the enamel ones are those in the "square" 10 ml jars. As with many other paints, the acrylics dry much faster but the enamels give a more realistic finish. Personally, I would always prefer to use those clear colors on BMF rather than Molotov, but if Molotov is the choice, I gather using the enamel clear is the better move. -
Very well done! Italeri has always been an underrated brand. No doubt however IMHO that they have always given a bit "extra effort" to the models with Italian originals such as Ferrari and Lamborghini...
-
Very nice! Great work on the interior to get some detailing out of that old kit. The body looks great in white and the BMF and fine brush work on the emblems and badges came out nicely!

Like that AMX... Jo-Han kit?
