Check the paint department at any of the big home improvement stores. They often have new spray nozzles in both spray styles. Buy the nozzles you like and just switch it out with what ever came on the spray can you are using. Also a good way to replace any old nozzles that are no longer working as they should.

While risky, you might try enlarging the top of the opening and then glue in some L shaped plastic to form a new window channel. Plastruct also offer a T shape in several different sizes. I have been able to create different window channels in this manor.

Great looking build. The body proportions don't look that far off. Maybe if you had a 1:1 to measure against it may be different.

Beautiful build. You should send a picture of it to Richard, I'm sure he would enjoy it also.

What a great color, it really looks perfect on those body lines. Chevrolet offered the same thing on the Impalas called Evening Orchid, not sure about Olds or Buick. Not sure about what the air cleaners look like but you might even try Bare Metal Foil.

All of them are great builds. It is hard to believe that you could put that sedan together in just 11 days. The paint is as shinny as I have seen in a long time.

Looks very nice. I remember seeing tu-tone paint jobs like that years ago. Good idea on the window moldings.

Those are beautiful, looks like you could get in and drive away. Outstanding fit and finish on both Ponchos.

Great looking engine. I like the "OK-5" on the front of the cylinder head. Don't recall seeing that detail before, really adds to the engines appearance.

Great looking color, very smooth finish. This is a very nice accurate kit ( I once owned a '72 Monte Carlo 1:1) .

I'm 72 and have been building off and on since 1954. I like building models of cars I have owned, wish I could of afforded once upon a time and those that remind me of when I was thick of hair and thin of waist unlike now.

Ours was the cities fault. We have what they call Grinder Pumps to handle the sewer flow. This is maintained by the city, and the grinder and pump failed. There is an alarm that is suppose to sound but that was not wired properly. When the city took over our sewer system so that we could be annexed they put language in that the city could not be held responsible for damage caused by their neglects.

Great looking build. It is always rewarding to build a model of a vehicle that had a special meaning in your life. I hope you can look at this truck for years to come and have those memories of your father.

Engines are looking perfect. I feel your pain on the backup. Had this happen a few years ago and they had to remove sheet rock and base board moldings. The entire basement had to have new carpet thru out. Home owners insurance paid for it as the city would not take responsibility. Hope you have a better outcome.

Some brush paint alternatives, I have used Tamiya XF-56 Metallic Grey and XF-16 Flat Aluminum. Model Master has a color called Steel that is flat and turns out somewhere between Aluminum and the darker Tamiya grey. I have used Tamiya AS-12 Bare Metal Silver that looks much like a powder coated header.

Before getting a spray booth I used to use a cardboard box as a spray booth. This wouldn't help with the temp so much but would keep the over spray contained on and around the model. I agree that if you keep it above sixty degrees you should be alright. Unless you're single or want to become single you should keep spray painting in the garage or some other structure away from the main living quarters.

Enjoying following your build. A question on your rear tires, do remember where they came from?

On the belt cover, this would probably an after market add on. This was common on a modified VW. OEM's didn't have a cover. With the Turbo setup you might not even notice that the cover is gone, or even if it would be needed. I see what you mean about the wheel color. The one picture you can just see that it is green and not black. The body modifications are very well done and give a very balanced look to the body.

Looks like another great kit. Revell has done an outstanding job on the detail on this. Would not normally think of building a Bronco but this is just to nice not to play with.

Thank you for sharing but there seems to be something wrong with the link.

Like the Turbo setup. Engine color is unique and very eye catching.

"KILLR-B" says it all. Really like this style of build.

Great detail, and like the way the undercarriage was painted. Has a very nice "low key" look. They vinyl roof looks very realistic.

Looks interesting. Those front tires really look large. Like the grill, is there a water cooled engine in the future ?

I think the possibilities for this kit would be endless no matter what build style you like. Look forward to building a couple as soon as they are out.
