Two cans of Tamiya TS spray is a lot of paint ! I always use the TS paints and I've never used one whole can painting any model , always have plenty left for misc parts and pieces . But your paint jobs are always gorgeous so I can't argue with the results . . . maybe I need to rethink my technique .
For having a messed up paint job that's a pretty good save , it looks great ! The rust and hand lettering look correct for that type of race car .
Buy a can of Testors Dull-Cote , it works wonders on those shiny tires .
Excellent work modifying and combining two diecasts into one great looking sedan delivery ! Your detailing is also very impressive , especially items like the hood hinges . . . great job !
Yes you should have ! This was a completely new tool for 1962 replacing the multipiece body kit .
Quick fact : The Yellow Jacket parts (minus the decals) were included in this kit also released in 1962 , molded in green plastic .
