70 Sting

Good Afternoon, Just finished photography on the latest build, Revell's '32 Ford 5-Window Coupe 2'n1. The kit can be built as a Coupe or Highboy and I went with a combination of both. Paint is Mr. Color Mr. Metal Violet Metallic GX207 over Tamiya LP-1 Gloss Black and clear coated with Mr. Color GX100. The roof and running boards are Tamiya Rubber Black, interior is Zero Paints Chocolate and Beige. Most of the kit chrome was stripped with LA's Totally Awesome, base coated with with gloss black and painted with Zero Paints Chrome. Initially I wanted the hood removable however this led to fitment issues with the side panels so I went with just top section fixed in place. Engine was was wired with a Gofer Racing distributer. What I Learned: 1. First time using Mr. Color paints. It's much thicker than anything I've used in the past but thins well with Unicorn Tears (Mr. Levelling Thinner). I prefer the shine and apparent hardness of GX100 Gloss Clear over Tamiya's TS-13. 2. First time using Zero Paints Chrome - I prefer this over AK Interactive's Chrome. It seems less prone to smudging/marring. 3. First time trying to make a wood-like steering wheel. I'll do better next time. 4. Kits with running boards and fenders are finicky (for me) when it comes to fitment. No matter how much test fitting I do, things don't always go as planned. I'm wasn't happy with the rear fenders and body as there's too much of a gap for my liking. Thanks for looking :^)

Great lookin’ ride! Nice paint, cool interior. ?

Looks great! Nice chrome all around, super interior and wired engine.

Thanks @Madhatter. Be mindful of your base layer… might take a number of coats to get the colour you want.

Great idea opening the windows. ?

Wow those are nice.

@Tommy124 This was my first Ferrari kit - I believe it’s the law that the 1st must be painted red. 8^) I think it would look great in green as well. I’d be interested to see if you encounter any of the issues I did during the build.

Agree with everything that’s been said above. Mad BMF skills! Great photography as well.

When I saw the first photo I thought it was an actual car you were using as reference. ?

Beautifully done! What’s the 0-60 on it? ?
