Yep- you'll see a raised lip around the perimeter of the front and rear glass- that represents the window seals, which are chrome. Best thing might be to foil them, then paint the edges black to represent the exposed rubber, but I'm not sure my hands are that steady.

Really like the stance here- bugger is, the front frame crossmember is sitting on the ground! The front end could theoretically go even lower!

Oh- did you notice the molded lip on the glass (windsheild and backlight pane)? Don't forget to foil it!

Well- they shouldn't be black anyway- foiling them would probably be better. I think the best solution would be to foil them, then paint the edges flat black. (Note- this is a lower-price Pacemaker model, so it does not have the bright windsheild and backlight surrounds the Hornet does- this car is also a '51)

Cool! Wonder if she meets OSHA specs, though.

Nice! I've used that same color on quite a few projects of my own- looks great on the Hud. Bonus points for keeping the cut lines for the panel between the trunk and back window intact- those try to make an escape along with the mold lines in that area when you sand the body.

You're still further ahead with your tuck and roll side panels than me, though- I've only gotten as far as tracing out the stock panels onto a piece of styrene sheet.

Sweet! Just plain sweet. Oh, and careful with that C-series kit... those things are addictive.

Forgot this kit existed! Love seeing it converted to a 4-door wagon.

There were some available years ago from either John Heyer Resin or Model Cars and Parts- they were pretty much direct repops of the SMP/AMT kit parts. I used the parts on the AMT cab- they seem just an eensy-teensy bit smaller than whatever scale the new-tool AMT kit is (1:25), so they're just a bit smaller than that assuming the AMT kit is scaled correctly. Not sure how they'd work in the Revell kit.

Yeah, I'd be inclined to say those count.

As far as good kits of this body style, I don't think there are any!

There was a copy of Futility in Titanic's library when she sank... wonder if it was a 'bad juju' kind of thing! Very nice job on the model! I've wanted to use this kit to build the Olympic as a hospital ship, and the ill-fated third sister, Britannic (which was originally to be named 'Gigantic'.) Another fun Titanic fact- most of the newsreel footage you have seen of the 'Titanic' is actually the Olympic. If you look closely, they blured out the names of the tugboats seen assisting it from its slip.

Love it! XJ 220 is one of my favorite designs.

What Craig said, or look into one of the frames Replicas and Miniatures Co. of Maryland sells.

Starting on a '52 now. Yep, '52. I won't say how I got the '52 grille and wheels just yet, but obviously I have them.

From what I've heard, the tooling for the Revival kits is long gone.

Wouldn't that make Chysler an American Fiat?

A bit unrelated, but someone did mention antique shops. I got my Renwal '66 Packard revival kit at an antique store.

Where's the gas cap?

James- once you set up an account with a photo hosting site, theres a pretty good tutorial on how to post pics here- http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12248

And this one...

Oh- I did forget this one!

Only reason I knew that was because I'd been using the flat brown and had the jar right next to me at the work bench. Had to check the Tamiya paint chart to see what gunmetal was.

I did on the first one.
