  1. I painted the interior parts with Tamiya Sea Blue. It looks almost flat black though. Chassis is done, engine installed.
  2. Thanks Jim. Thanks Bob. Thanks Carl. Thanks Kevin.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. Sharp looking Nova wagon. Nice work.
  7. Nice work Michelle. I remember watching Knight Rider back in the day.
  8. Beautiful build. Nice work.
  9. Thank you. Thanks Carl.
  10. Thanks. Thanks Mario.
  11. Beautiful build Bob. Excellent work.
  12. Another Vallejo Model Color user here. I use the black a lot for detail stuff. It brushes great and covers great even over other colors. And HL carries a good selection.
  13. Looking good Bob. Nice job with the BMF.
  14. Thanks David. Thanks Michelle. Thank you. Thanks Bob. Thank you. Thanks.
  15. Thanks Carl. Thanks Joe. Thanks David.
  16. Didn't come out as good as I wanted. Seems my last 3 or 4 builds start out ok, then go downhill during the final assembly. My builds from a year ago were looking much better. I've got to stop being impatient with my builds and do more prep work before I start putting things together. Anyway, this is painted with Testor's Gloss Blue Acrylic. Interior is a semi gloss black. I tried some weathering on the chassis, engine and the engine bay. I tried following the excellent tutorial by Steven in the tips section. There are some pics of that in my WIP. All comments are welcome, and thanks for looking.
  17. Looks great. I'm building the same kit, but it's not looking as good. I over looked fitting the front and rear body panels before paint, and they do not fit well. The hood is also a bad fit. Mine is Testor's Gloss Blue acrylic. BTW, mine does have the Trans Am decals.
  18. Got some detailing and weathering under the hood, and put on some decals.
  19. Interior. Hard to see painted black, and those seatbelt decals got lost in it.
  20. Thanks Carl. Thanks Jim. Thanks Chaz.
  21. I try sometimes, but don't take a lot of time with it, rarely get one on.
  22. They are a little slow on shipping. I live about 300 miles South of them and it takes 4 or 5 days. But they have good prices and reward points that can save you a few bucks also. I've ordered from them many times.
  23. I gave this a try and although it doesn't look as convincing as Steven's, I'm happy with it.
  24. Testor's Gloss Blue acrylic..........thinned 1:1 with generic lacquer thinner.
