  1. Your painting looks great.
  2. I did some small steps forward: -the sidewalls of the interieur are ready -the dashboard and the steering wheel in wood look -photoetched sun visors with a mirror made of bare metal foil -the rims with aluminium tire air valves from MrModel. They are good to see in painted rims. I sanded the tread of the wheels with a rough sanding stick and the sidewalls with a fine one. I think that looks realistic. Now I have to apply the red decals strips to the wheels
  3. Good painting job
  4. A very nice car. I love the color.
  5. Very good work. Nice car.
  6. @SpeedShift the Super Chrome from AK is really good to spray. I brushed the first parts with my airgun. The last 2 evenings I applied the bare metal foil for the window frames and used Molotow chrom pens for the lines at the rear of the car. The rear bumper is painted with Exreme Chrom. At the picture the shiny surface is not so good to see than in the reality. The exhaust pipes are bad. Square, the end not open and at both sides signs from the mold. I opened them with a round motorized cutter and painted them in chrome and black inside. Now I have a choice between 3 different rims and wether I should use the red stripes on wheels. The right ones are similar to the rims of my Mustang Boss 351 from Revell (a new kit I bought today). I think I prefer the middle rims with the red stripes and paint the wheel caps in a not so shiny chrome. What do you mean?
  7. That`s a great color for this car.
  8. Great color for this car. It looks nice.
  9. This kit is from Revell 1/25 scale. After my Charger was finished in the Race version, I continued straight away with the Factory Stock version. I usually paint the body first because that's the biggest thrill for me, making sure nothing goes wrong. I also have a second engine with an engine stand. I want to upgrade this again with metal parts and ignition cables. I just ordered the parts for this engine from Mr.Model in Brazil. A new chrome color for me should arrive in the next few days. This is Super Chrome from AK. I'm curious to see how this can be processed. I completed the engine for the compartment in the car on this weekend. The decal for the air filter was a disaster. Despite warm water, decal set and sol and using a hairdryer, it cracked when applied. The stripes over the rear, on the other hand, were quite easy to apply (seen for this kit).
  10. That is nice project. Perfect built.
  11. I have this Revell kit twice, the first was built in the racing version, the second is currently being worked on as a stock version. Since each kit comes with 2 complete engines (including engine stand), I have a detailed engine for each model to set up next to the respective vehicle. I left the tires and rims from an old AMT kit and used them here because I liked the wide rear tires on the model. I installed etched parts from MBM on the vehicle. Aluminum parts on the engine from MrModel from Brazil. The construction presented me with some challenges due to poor fit at times. I always have to pull myself together to continue with the second model. The decals are also a disaster. Despite Micro Set and Mocro Sol, they were almost impossible to apply. Even using a hairdryer didn't help. They were as stiff as a board and they didn't allow masses of plasticizer to be put in all the beads. I've built 1/32 planes with lots of decals, but this hasn't happened to me yet.
  12. Very nice pickup. I like the color you had used.
  13. A nice built Firebird.
  14. The digital issue ist not available till now.
  15. You did an awesome work with your painting. I like this two color tones of the old Citroën. In my stock there is waiting a DS-19 from EBBRO.
  16. @michelle you can still buy this kit. For example at modelroundup
  17. To my 60th birthday, my wife had a great idea. The present for me was 2 hour driving with a Lamborghini Gallardo. I drove from my house a country road to the highway near by and back. It was amazing, a dream was going reality. Unfortunately there was much traffic on the highway, so it was only possible to drive a top speed of 235 km/h. The sound, the experience and the feeling was great. The engine in this car is a V10 with over 500 HP, top-speed 318 km/h. So I want to built this car. I found the kit from Fujimi with photo-etched parts (important for the grills). The rims from Hobby Design, the carbon decals und safety belts from Scale Production. The color ist Lamborghini Orange Metallic from Zero Paints. Alclad II for the metal parts (magnesium for the rims, like the real ones). The license plates are printed at home like the real plates are. This is the car, I want to built: This is the result: Some pictures from inside:
  18. Very nice Lambo. ?
  19. Great job. Nice painting and finish.
  20. This pickup ist built from the MPC kit 1/25. It was the most terrible kit, witch I have ever built. The time to built the Pontiac was nearly 2 years with many breaks. Sometimes I want to throw it into the trash can. But now I`m ready. The color ist from Zero Paints (Light Blue for Mercedes 300SL) with a 2K clear coat. The front lights are from scale production, the bumpers painted witz ALCLAD II Chrome and the windshield frame ist Baremetal Foil. I like the decals from the kit and the look of the car.
  21. It‘s a awesome car. I like the Dodge Charger from this time. Nice color and a nice built. ?
  22. Interesting two color tone.
  23. Top color and I like the wiring. Great work.
  24. A really „great“ kit. Good work till now.
