Can’t get enough light for precision operations. Pic sez it all.🙂

Ones good…the other wanders a bit.😜

Hi Les. This 3 minute video is geared towards larger paint booths but describes the different types of filter media. I used to use the pleated cardboard framed filters because I got a bunch for free. Now I just use the green fiberglass roll media. I got a dozen of them cut to size cheap from a local supplier. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBVZE9C8quw

I don’t know how concerned with accuracy you are Ron, but here is a link to how I modified the hood to be more accurate. Just an FYI in case you are able to find one. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/191238-amt-‘51-chevy-hood-fix/

That you may regret?🥴 I’d wait and get a quality unit.

You won’t regret it!🙂 Cleaning it is the only drawback. With a single action-external mix airbrush like a Paasche or Badger the cleaning required is very simple and easy.

I like that shade of blue on it.👍

Great looking paint and foil work Joe!👍😎

The color looks great on it Gary.👍 I tend to like full fendered rods over fenderless too.😎

Looking good👍 I buy the Tamiya primer in the square bottle, thin it with lacquer thinner and airbrush it. It’s the same primer as the spray cans I believe. I keep a jar of it for my Paasche mixed so I don’t have to clean the cup each time.🙂

Looks like too heavy of a coat in one pass. I haven’t used a spray bomb in a while, but when I did I would start spraying off the model, make a brisk pass over it and stop after I’m past the model. Probably 6”-8” away and multiple light coats.

Since you asked….I would not waste time trying to resurrect it. You could build half a dozen new kits in the time it would take to fix it. Throw it in the parts box or make a demolition derby car out of it. JMO.

Convincingly assembling your model you are said Yoda.

Nice work Eran! I like all the extra accessories you are adding.👍😎

Wow MM…I like your weathering technique! It looks awesome!👍😎

Thanks Chris. I plan on painting it a mixture of metallic red and metallic black. The roof will be gloss black. I have mulled over the idea of ditching the LS and putting a 409 in it instead. Hmmm….🤔

Thank you all Fellas! I am happy with the roof profile now.🙂 The extension does make huge improvement in my mind. I think I will go with the hubcaps and white walls unless I can find a set of baby moons in the parts box. I’d like a slightly wider set of tires for the rear, but unless I can splice two tires together or find a suitable pair that I could paint I will use the kit tires

Use 0.030” for the handle part if you have it. It looks less clunky and a little more in scale than the 0.040”.

Well that sucks! Your mockup looks great though…from a distance.🥴

Me, myself and I is the main concern of too many people these days.

The city wants to change the zoning laws so that they can grant a permit without any public input to build a 40 foot tall fourplexs in neighborhoods like mine. We are all single or split level homes on 50x100 foot lots. This all came about when the feds decided to hand out cash to cities to solve the housing crisis that they created. Edit: I don’t want to move because I am easy walking distance from a mall and there are lots of stores and restaurants nearby. But if my next door neighbours house got bought and torn down by a developer to build a 4plex…🤬

I would have followed you on that build Jim.👍

Nice project.👍 They were workhorses that’s for sure.

I don’t think that cab represents any real world vehicle, so you can basically do whatever works best for you. Here is a ‘36 Ford for reference.

1 thing I know is that 4 breakfast I 8 yogurt and muffins.
