bluestringer

I like the look of primer only on hot rods. Makes them look meaner. Yours looks great, compliments the black really well.

Making a little progress. Got the engine almost ready. The blower scoop in the kit is ridiculous. I found a better one in my parts box, dechromed it and the headers, then painted them flat black. The headers will be installed after the engine is in the chassis. I also have a wired magneto coming from Scale Repros Plus that I will install.

I have used water to thin Tamiya paints, it works fine as does isopropyl alcohol . Besides the Tamiya I also use Testor's enamel, and I have the lacquer thinner for it, and since it's right there I just use it for the Tamiya also. But water works also.

I've never noticed a funny smell with the X-22, and I just use cheap walmart lacquer thinner with it, or sometimes Mr. Hobby leveling thinner. Works fine. Never had a need to swallow any of it.

Thanks Bob. Mocking up the body and the hood is a terrible fit. Going to need some work. Thanks. It only has the Coke decals which I am not fond of. I'll need to see if I can find some different ones.

This is the Coke version 3 n 1. I'll be building the drag car. Trying to clean up the body first, lots of flash and mold lines.

I use Tamyia X-22 or sometimes Future floor polish.

Yea, not making much progress with it, probably going back in the box. I may use the engine in something else.

Yea it is, but the frame is warped on mine. Having problems getting it together even with the included jig.

Looking great Bob.

Picked it up at Ollie's. Looks like a older kit, lots of flash and mold lines.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments, much appreciated. Mike, yes the kit came with the louvered trunk lid. EMRE, this is the Revell Special Edition 5 window coupe 2n1 kit.

Calling it done.

Thanks. Thanks Bob. Thanks. Thanks Jim. I had already assembled and painted the hood, didn't want to try and take it apart. But yea I think it would look better without the sides. I've used Tamiya clear over Testor's enamel a few times and never had a problem. Thanks Carl.

I've built a few of these, but always the highboy. This is my first building the kit coupe. OOB except for plug wires and I added some exhaust tips. Paint is Testor's Gloss Teal. Photos show it a little more blue than it actually is. Fun kit, went together well, had a few problems getting the fender panels and body to fit together right, but worked it out. Not a contest winner, but I'm satisfied with it. I wish I had left the sides off the hood, but I had already assembled and painted it so didn't want to try and take it apart. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Put on some flames, and sprayed on some Tamiya x-22 clear.

Thanks. Thank you. Thanks Thanks

I painted the interior parts with Tamiya Sea Blue. It looks almost flat black though. Chassis is done, engine installed.

Thanks Jim. Thanks Bob. Thanks Carl. Thanks Kevin.

The compressor I posted a link to has a tank on it. The Passche H is a great airbrush, you can find used ones on ebay for reasonable prices.

I started this one a while back, messed up the paint and put it aside to build the Trans Am. Now I'm back on it. I had first went with Testor's Gloss Red acrylic but I messed it up. I have now stripped it and went with Testor's Gloss Teal Enamel. I've built a couple of these in the past but never the coupe. This will be a box stock build.

I bought this one a few months ago. I really like it. Works great. https://www.amazon.com/PointZero-HP-Airbrush-Compressor-Portable/dp/B004KNDQCM/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=point+zero+airbrush+compressor&qid=1694263025&sr=8-9

Sharp looking Nova wagon. Nice work.

Nice work Michelle. I remember watching Knight Rider back in the day.

Beautiful build. Nice work.
