Thanks for the tip about the glass. Hopefully the next paint job is better. If I don't have to do some paint correction, or even a complete repaint, I don't always feel like I've accomplished anything

So very cool! Especially like the rotting wooden bed floor. Still looks like a restorable candidate

So I didn't want to get bogged down .... 😀 I actually have a couple of these '57 Cameos in my stash. Being pretty unhappy with the overly thick paint, I decided to start over. I pulled a body out of another box, cleaned it up, and have primed it and am ready to go. In the meantime, I'm trying to strip the paint from the original body and will probably finish it in some color other than white. So, here's body #2, which will be dropped onto frame #1. Hopefully.

Thanks for sharing the trick about preventing ghosting. Looks like you're off to a good start.

OH wow, that is the coolest thing I have seen today. Beautiful work.

Haha, I just went back and saw your reply to my earlier thread about Bombay Ivory. You really did a great job with what I think is a somewhat finicky kit.

Wow! That looks really good! I'm impressed for sure. What did you use for the paint?

Thanks for that - it does seem straightforward to fix. Oh, that looks nice! Really appreciate the visual.

Well, on the positive side, I'm actually pretty happy with the color. But, there are a lot of thin spots, and I really, really botched my masking job this time! I can probably polish off the red over-spray, but the over all inconsistency in the paint thickness is apparent in the white. I'm thinking I may strip this one.

I'll probably pick up one copy - I'm a sucker I guess. So, does "New Parts!" mean, "we made new parts" or does it mean, "we found some parts of the mold and reinstated those."?

Not much of an update, but I did polish out the paint today. Burned though the spears on the hood a little bit, but I think (hope) I can salvage that. Maybe I can finish the red trim tomorrow

Yes, Sir! I caught that - thankfully.

I hope so - we'll see how it looks after I polish it. I agree! Thank you. Did you do anything regarding the void under the cab? Or just leave it as is? (I'm probably going to leave it for the sake of not getting bogged down)

Little background - my long-suffering wife gave me this kit ages ago because she liked the white on red. But, at the time, I was hesitant to start the kit, because my success with white finishes has been less than stellar So, trying to decide the best hobby paint for "Chevrolet Bombay Ivory", I primed the model with Tamiya white primer. Following some discussion in the Model Building Questions and Answers section, I shot a few coats of Tamiya Racing White TS-7 over it and here we are. Guess I'll finish it, because of course I should start another project! Thanks to everyone who provided some insight into possible solutions to "what color is it really?"

Well ... Here is Tamiya TS-7 Racing White over Tamiya White primer: Looks more "yellow" or "cream" under indoor lighting. I guess I'll run with it and start a build thread....
