Tail lamps are in. Monogram did a good job here. I cut the chrome parts off. I used molotow with a brush to hide the sprue cuts. Cannot say enough about this product.

Thank all of you for the great comments. My friend Mark gave me some molotow and now I can do the cars I like. 50s and 60s cars! It is a game changer. Not expensive and better than all the others. The smell is not bad. . No grief from the wife. Here is a pic of the front. Put lights in. This monogram kit is a sleeper of a kit. Thanks again.

Just fantastic!!!!!!!’

Thank you mod3l Lover and Gerald. The wheels are from the Revell 32 ford kit and i painted the spokes tamiya sky grey. Hope this helps. Thanks again

Here is what I hope the side view will look like

Bigtalldad, if you look close, behind the rear suspension, the upper splash shield is molotow liquid chrome paint. The lower is polished white metal. What is very cool is that I brushed that upper. It is not air brushed. It looks like I airbrushes it. That’s how cool this stuff is.

Thank you guys for the great comments. Bigtalldad, I use a automotive urethane clear coat. If some of the chrome paint gets on the finish it comes off with wax and grease remover. On all other finishes I would paint a plastic spoon and test the chrome paint on the spoon. It is alcohol based. Says permanent ink. Removing it on other finishes might be a problem. Masked the car with jammydog micro masking tape and then tamiya tape for the rest. It was sold thru scale finishes. I do not know if they still have it, but it seems to mask it tight with no issues. You can coat molotow over any finish as long as it is smooth. No need for a very shiny finish. I have used it over primer with great results. Kosmic Krome is $95 , alclad is $8.85. You need a shiny finish for each of these. Molotow is so much better. Hope this helps. Thank you for the great comments.

Thank you guys! Here is some pics with the side trim on. Molotow liquid paint is the way to go. Only problem is you have to let it dry a few days until you can handle it. Thanks for the great comments

Thank you guys. Oldnslow , my friend had a 55 he restored into a hot rod cruzer . Put a Chevy crate motor in it and American wheels, light suspension work and this paint job. The white is a light pearl. He did the interior the same way. Blue and white. I kick my self on the rear as he wanted to sell it to me for $25,000. This was 10 years ago when everyone was hit hard. I had the money but was scared of the economy so I did not buy it. He did a total rotisserie restoration. The car was beautiful! So I’m going to build this and give it to him. With the money he received from the car he bought a steel bodied 32 for the same price so I guess it worked out for him. With hind sight I wished I bought the car. Bet you had a blast with yours!

I’m sorry, this is not a Revell kit. It’s a monogram kit. Getting old I guess. Painted the trim with molotow liquid chrome. Going to put American racing torque thrusts from the Revell 32 ford kit. I wish they would make a parts pack for the rims. I could use these on a bunch of cars. Washed the grill. So far it’s a great kit. Here are some pics

Hello , the blue is a automotive solvent based paint.Sherwin Williams. We had some Chevy truck blue left over and I added more blue toner. This was the result. I did this a few years ago but got stuck on the trim. So I shelved the model. I wish I could give you guys more info on the paint. It is a Standard Chevy truck color with a blue toner added to the stock paint. It has been so long ago I cannot remember how much toner I used. It has a sherwin Williams urethane clear coat.HPC 15 clear.

Well getting away from the big projects for a while. Doing 1/25 again. Back to reality. This is the scale I love. 1955 Chevy, probably everyone has done one except me. This is a project I shelved because I did not like the trim. Now with molotow chrome paint I can finish this car. The blue is really striking. The top deck lid and the top of the 1/4 panels are pearl white. Here we go, hope you like.

Entered the 2000 GT at the Hornet show in the Bay Area. It took 1st place. Was a empty win as there were no other entries in the stock class. So off to the NNL West. See you there.

Hello entered the Ferrari in the Hornet show in the Bay Area. It took 3rd. It suffered some transportation damage. I will package it better next trip. I’ll be at the NNL West. On a good note Mr Hiro put the Ferrari on his web site. Model Factory Hiro.

How about a cobra limo? I need a doctor.

Very NICE!!!!!

It is the NNL West. Held in the Bay Area. Hope you can make it. I’m going to try very hard to make it. I live on the other side of the Sierras and if it snows real heavy I will not make it.

This is just too cool! Love it . GREAT JOB!!!!!!

This is the way I will display the Ferrari at the NNL. . I will make a black base for it . Maybe a clear case for home. Now it’s done thank all of you for the great support.

Keep going sir! It will turn out great! Remember, I have some red if you need it.

Hello , made some jack stands for display with the tires off. Going to try to make a stand for the front end to sit on for display. I’m surprised that MFH does not make jack stands. Maybe someone will come up with some. Hope you like.
