There are some really nice builds of this kit happening now, they both are looking great
I got this kit for my birthday from my wife and am pretty excited about it. Although a basic kit, I am having fun with it. I usually start by doing the body, but thought I’d switch it up this time and started with the engine. I am going to use as much craft paint on this as I can
Here is the paint I am using for the body color
I mix it about 50/50 with windshield washer fluid. Here is an idea of the color on the floorboard and firewall
Looking at the engine, I really wanted to do something different from how I would normally approach it. After experimenting on some scrap chrome I decided to darken the chrome and give it a purplish hue. I think it turned out OK
After looking at it, I think yellow wires would have looked better
I am slowly getting the chassis together
I darkened the chrome on the wheel edges and centers to match the engine
Thanks for looking! Any comments are welcome.
