Agreed 100%. Thanks for NOT doing this in silver. And this is a very nice build.

Hi David, this is a beautiful result. Liquid Red has been my favorite color on the GT from day one and the Gravity colors red looks good on yours. Do I understand correctly that this requires a separate golden basecoat? Zero Paints has released that color now also but it doesn't have (and require) the metallic base...

Good suggestions. I like the one from JC the best. If you have to paint the complete inner part of the wheels , there is another good trick I read about, it includes the use of the airbrush: First paint the rims in the desired color. Then take a coin similar to the size of the inner wheel and cut a circle from a piece of tape using a cutter around the coin. Then divide the circle into 8 equal parts, using a pencil and a ruler. Cut those 8 pieces out properly and use them to mask off the painted rims before painting the outer rims with Alclad Chrome or similar. It's quite some work but I have seen nice results coming from this procedure. It has been used by a guy on a German forum, here is one of his results: http://www.wettringer-modellbauforum.de/forum/index.php?page=Thread&postID=811453#post811453

Looking at the closed front grille, just like with the Revell, there will still the need to replace some black plastic with honeycombe PE material...

You are taking this to a new level, Dann!

LOL... The front end of that kit looks like a sporty type of security van...

All I know there is a Mustang 5.0 litre...

Great conversion, brilliant build!

I only saw this now... What a stunningly beautiful Jag!

Great model! Glad I could grab one of the re-released kit lately...

You sure did a great job on saving that one!

Great result, well done! I can practically feel it... coming in the air tonight...

That's nicely put, fully agree.

LOVELY! I gotta get me that kit, but so far no chance of buying it in Germany or Europe...

Beautiful!

Agreed 100%. What is that color - Tamiya TS-54?

Hello Simon, great build! Looks awesome this way. Funny because I am intending to go for a non-livery finish myself!

Absolutely brilliant build!

TBH when discussing whether to or not to soak an AB in cleaner etc., I was assuming that it's about an AB equipped with teflon seals. If there are rubber seals involved, soaking is of course a no-go.

I have this kit aswell and actually started some smaller work on the body last year. It takes a lot of preparation work, e.g. sanding all the many small louvres on the hood. Will you build it out of the box? I intend to use bigger wheels and tyres as I think the stock/ kit wheels are too small for such a cool car.

I like the Foxbodies too. I just got myself the Monogram kit to do the 1992 GT Convertible. Remember this video? Eric, if you're not sure whether the primer will stick to the body, do the tape-test. Stick some tape to parts of the body very thoroughly and then pull it off quickly. The primer should stick to the body rather than the tape...

I just learnt today that acrylics do not necessarily have to be "low-odor". Btw, I like your models and paint finish, the Vette especially!

It wouldn't be the first (yellow) Porsche 962 without livery: https://fastestlaps.com/models/dauer-porsche-962-lemans Jochen Dauer, owner of the Dauer Racing Team - the last one to win with the Porsche 962 in Le Mans (in 1994 - as a private team!) - sold road-going versions of the 962 C for 1,5M Deutschmark back then, IIRC. And if that wasn't enough... http://en.wheelsage.org/porsche/962/pictures/278416/ Great work by the way, Will. I really like the paint job!

Hi guys, I have a question regarding the "foil under paint" technique. Do you apply the BMF onto the paint (basecoat) or onto the primer already? The way I see it, there are pros and cons either way.

Thanks for the tip Steve! This comes at the right time as I will start with the BMF on my 69 Camaro one of these days. Really great and simple and one of those why-did-I-not-come-up-with-that-myself things...
