Very nice Volare Roadrunner. I remember when those hit the streets,a guy that worked for me at a gas station had a silver one while I had a '75 Duster with a day 2 look. It was like a mini car show here they were parked. The re-release of this kit is getting pricey even though it's not been around for a few years now. I built one and sold it with regrets now

thank you again all for the kind words. Even though the AMT '40 Ford kits have their quirks it's still one of my favorite kits to build.Thank you again for commenting

thank you everyone for the comments. The rear window molding was done freehand with a fine tip Sharpie, using Tamiya masking tape I masked around the front window molding and used a medium tip Sharpie and then removed the tape immediately. Also used Duplicolor 1K clear over the Orange,no wet sanding or polishing involved.

Awesome looking Mustang Curtis, this kit has been on my radar for sometime. Anything to watch for while building it ?

1955 Chrysler 300 - stock build with lighting
Musclecars replied to Andy Oldenburg's topic in Model Cars
really sharp build Andy and great work on the detailing. Thanks for showing it -
nothing fancy or well detailed. Pretty sure we all know how the trim on these bodies can be difficult to do because of how faint they are. The hood itself was an adventure because there just wasn't enough edge to follow,so all in all it is what it is. Color is Tamiya Orange,used Modelhaus American mags and AMT Parts Pack Goodyear Polyglas white lettered tires. Thanks for looking and Happy Modeling

I too use LA Awesome but it will not take the chrome off in some kits,the re-release of the Stacy David Hiboy for example. I let some parts sit for a couple days and nothing so I ended up doing a light sanding to remove it
