    Brutal mi hermano, I personally love the '63 split window, wanna see if at some point this year I can build one. Love this at this scale......

    You are welcome Tim, personally, I thought I would see a new tool such as the recent new releases of the Charger and Bronco kits but I still find it to be pretty interesting…..

    I used Tamiya Bare Metal Silver but it was still a bit too dark so I cleared the entire hood, masked from the edge of the decals at the perimeter and shot silver again....

    Thank you my friend, I actually ordered Bright Blue Metallic for it which is a factory color but MCW sent me this one.....

    Had a lot of fun with this one fellas! Paint is MCW Finishes Lacquer Acapulco Blue, not a color used in that year for this car but it certainly looks the part. Clear is 2K by Splash Colors. Just added a few small details on the engine and interior but this is basically a box stock build. Kudos to Revell for this finely engineered kit, it is highly recommended!

    It's a little bit of a tedious process but the results speak for themselves......

    I don't use the Tamiya Panel Line wash for my panel lines, I like using the MIG washes for that, these are thinner in consistency than the Tamiya Panel Line alternative. My trick has always been to scribe very deeply and wash right on the plastic even before adding any primer. After this, I don't have to address the panel lines any longer....

    Used PPG Eruption Green for the color sent to me by a good friend. Wheels and tires are from Fireball Modelworks. Fun kit to build and very well engineered.

    Thank you sir!!!!!

    Yes, had to ask permission before I used it.....?

    Thank you my friend, the show is currently held in Boyertown, just a few miles west of Gilberstsville. Still a great show though I prefer judge style ones myself....

    Definitely more of a car guy than a motorcycle enthusiast but fell in love with this kit when I saw it on the shelves at the hobby store. I had some leftover paint from Scale finishes from a previous model I had painted and thought it would work just right on this. Paint is Scalefinishes Lexus Liquid Blue topped with a sweet, shiny and reflective Splash 2K clear which really made it pop. To enhance reality, I used a Hobby Design,Yamaha XV1600 Roadstar Detail-Up Photo-Etch Set specifically designedfor this Tamiya kit. Had a lot of fun putting this one together!

    2K is not very different from your regular clear my friend but yes, if you are not careful, you will definitely finish with that "dipped in syrup" look. I just do two even coats with ten minute intervals and for my last coat, I thin the mix a tad more and shoot a final wet coat being careful I don't add too much paint. That last thinned coat will smooth everything up as it's drying. Once dry, I will look for any debris in the paint, wet sand, smooth and finish up with a good polishing. My best advice is to master the use of a good polishing system.....
