    56 T-Bird

    Beautiful looking color and finish. The interior looks great. Like all the clean OEM looking trim and wire hub caps.
  2. Iconic Mustang color with a great finish. Like the upgrades on the engine and the wheels.
  3. Like the body paint treatment and the Flat Head.
  4. Wheels and tires are such a personal style thing. Staying with the body-colored wheels you could look at some old '48 Ford style dog dishes with or without beauty rings. Chrome wheels are always an option and would look good here. Just ideas, build it your way.
  5. Great looking Corvette build. Like the attention to the painting details on the engine and chassis. Nice smooth looking paint.
  6. Great looking stance and thank you for the reminder where to find all the good parts for any future builds. Great looking stance and like the old Ansen Sprints style wheels.
  7. Most Railroad Lines around here use 3/4-ton pickups with drop down wheels so that they can be operated on the rails. They are equipped with a set of wheels and tires for the road with a narrower track than stock and allow the road tires to contact the rails and provide the power to get around.
  8. Beautiful looking Ford, I can see how you won.
  9. The Jewelry Section is a great place to find different shapes. I would also check any JoAnn's Fabrics stores or any other store that caters to Jewelry making.
  10. Great looking body and interior color combination. Like the engine detailing.
  11. Great looking build. Lots of detail painting on the engine and chassis.
  12. This is how you tell the men from the boys, by the size of their toys.
  13. The Tamiya White Primer might give you the finish you're after.
  14. Beautiful paint finish and color. Like the contrasting interior. Great painting detailing on the engine and chassis.

    1959 Thunderbird

    Great looking restoration and the color is very period correct for this car.
  16. Great looking color and any sponsor decals should show well with this as a background.
  17. Beautiful looking paint finish and color. Like the chrome trim. Remember seeing a few in this color or one very close back when.
  18. This may depend on what engine you want to represent in your '66 Chevelle build. The flags and the 396 or even the 427-engine displacement can be found in many of the other '60's era model kits. For the small block applications, they used a combination or a V emblem with a red, white and blue banner above for the basic small block and added a checkered flag emblem for the 327 engines.

    1932 Ford

    Beautiful looking color and finish. All the body trim looks sharp and clean. Like the wheel and tire setup.
  20. I agree and there may be hope based on what Round2 had done with the Chevy II wagon and the '64 Chevelle. They first offer the kit with an opening hood but with no engine. I think we can all work with that. Later they start to reissue the kit adding an engine and sometimes additional goodies. Alway liked the '61 Ford back when but was disappointed that the hood was molded closed.
  21. Great looking color combination and finish. Like the interior dash details. Are these the tires in this kit?
  22. Great looking paint and trim. The bed rails look like aluminum strips.
  23. Beautiful looking paint treatment and finish. Especially the engine detailing. Great stance.
  24. One tuff looking wagon. The paint color combination looks great and like the matching wheels. Like the wider wheels and would like to know your method to make them. The semi-clear air scoop looks trick. Great engine detailing. Like the added part between the grill and the radiator.
  25. If you have any Tamiya Gray Primer a light coat as a base and then a coat of White Primer. The Tamiya White Primer doesn't seem to block bright colors without several coats. Have used their Gray first followed by the White with minimum coats of paint.
