I built this Scout with Revell paint. I thinned it with enamel reducer an added a couple drops of hardener. It laid down nice and polishes up nice. I wouldn't say its any better than Testors, but so far this is the only body I have done. I believe their spray cans are acrylic, I have only tried the steel and aluminum in the sprays. They work well, fast dry and seems to be a durable finish. Enamels in tinlets brush well if thinned a bit.

Well done

Beautiful hippie bus.

This is mine. Built out of box except for headlight buckets and decal sheet from Model truckin.

A good year there. Very nice.

Beautiful work. That Cobra really catches my eye.

A really good year there.

Looks great. I too like the round headlights better. Square headlights on a round vehicle never looked right to me.

Way cool. A guy down the street from my mom has one of these that he bought shiny new in late 70s and is still his daily driver. Looks to still be in great shape.

Too cool for school...

Great looking fleet there.

Superb job all around here. Got that total 70s vibe.

Beautiful scratch building. That was the best packer ever. The trash and sludge in the bottom is a nice touch.

Beautiful work there.

Sometimes it seems like this hobby is one big blunder..... I've learned over the years to think things through a bit better. Like when I spent 30 or so hours filling/sanding on this Vandal body before I realized the body was warped? And this A100 I built years ago. I found a couple pieces of brass rod that fit perfect through the bumper holes. Worked perfect to paint it but then I couldn't get the rods out after I got paint all over them. I have become better at fixing my screw ups, not to mention some of the blunders from the kit makers. But this is what keeps it entertaining.

Very nice. I agree it looks much better as a tandem axle.

That looks great. That is a tough one to foil. The next one will be much easier and faster. I hated BMF the first time I tried it but now it's much easier to deal with.

Chrome smoothies.

Good looking plow horse.

That's a beautiful bug.

Beautiful work.

I have that same file set. Don't know what I would do without them. Those mini drills look interesting. Who makes them?

That "turd" certainly polished up nice. Looks great.

That's cool. I haven't seen a Quadravan in many years.

Very well done. I have never built an Italeri kit mostly due to the cost. But I may have to splurge and pick one up. And the fact that you did that in 3 weeks is impressive. I feel like I am doing well to get a truck done in 3 months.
