Run a black sharpie down the side of it using just side of the tip / felt that's how I did this one.

BUT, It would be a no brainer if all you had to buy was an airbrush. Problem is it also requires a compressor, cleaners and everything else that goes with it. . Plus storage of it all. With these prevail sprayers once done you can drop them in the trash if you want and buy another one if or when you need them again. , actually several times before your on the door step of a complete air brush costs The prevail sprayers have there niche,,, Whether that's in the modeling world or not I cant answer. But if I was limited on funds and / or space I would give one a try . Its not like every build I do where I need to drag out the air brush to paint it. I actually avoid it if I can find something close to the color I'm after in a rattle can. Last year I built maybe 12 - 13 kits, and I only had to drag the airbrush out twice. If I could have found the colors I wanted in a rattle can , It would still be there collecting dust . I am well aware an airbrush can allow for a much better overall finish. But Ive seen some quality builds done with nothing but a rattle can as well .

Never noticed this before. But with some creative masking one could get pretty close to this actual car with just that sheet

Thats better

Thanks, But nothing aftermarket of any kind was added. 100% of whats shown is in the box it comes in. Ive got away from the all detailed builds with aftermarket or over the counter parts . I don't do contests so all I have to do is please me . And this one is one of my favorites. Its been on my to do list ever since the kit came out. I just couldnt find the paint colors to do it and look right.

Correct, I took it back out and fixed it this morning. Once dry I'll see if its any better with the hood on

Yea, I noticed that as well. Unfortunately the grille doesn't fit the ends of the fenders just exactly perfect to correct it. To be honest the grill is actually just a smidge too wide for the body. ( hard to see in pics , but I sanded it down a bit to correct it as best I could then touched it up with a chrome pen ) But I still think its one of Revell best kits ever. The kit goes together with virtually zero issues . EDIT, I just took another look at the build in person. It seems my grille came loose and I didn't catch it, till now. Its been re-glued back in position and looks MUCH better now. I saw the restored 1/1 car back in the mid 90s and knew someday I had to build a replica of it for myself . It was was sitting there idling in the pits warming up ,waiting to make a pass ( sounded wicked btw ) . I'm not a ford guy but man that car made an impression on me. A picture of a picture the day we were there ( this was pre digital photos for me )

Ive wanted to build this kit since the day I saw the 1/1 back in the late 90s at a super stock reunion at the Virginia Motor Sports complex . Well, I finished this one last night . Strictly an all box stock build. Front bumper and the air cleaner box were stripped of the chrome and resprayed with duplicolor chrome over grey primer to give it a polished aluminum look. They're not the best pictures ,,, as my camera just doesn't really capture the color all that well in artificial lighting . But its painted mostly with Tamiya colors . All sealed in with Testors wet look clear Enjoy,,,, and comments of all kinds are most welcome and encouraged. But I really, REALLY like how it turned out . This is the 3rd Bolt Ive built ,,, And its one of 4 T-Bolts I have in the works right now. Thanks for looking

Well, finished the Tasca Ford car last night after dinner. headed to under glass and in my case to join the others

Only the body side moldings are done with BMF on the Bob Ford car. All the window trim ( front, rear and side ) is done with a chrome pen

2 interiors are now done (due to all the similarities I now have 4 different Thunderbolts in process) . Tub and Seats are Tamiya Champagne Gold, with testors flat clear over the lower doors and back seat of the tub and satin clear on the seats themselves. Tops of the doors and dash frame are sprayed with duplicolor Arizona beige to get me close to the 2 tone door frame I was after. Its not dead on,,,but close enough for me . It definitely has a little bit more of a gold tint to it in person than my camera/monitor depicts here . I picked out some trim on the dash and the horn ring on the steering wheel with a 1mm chrome pen. Body is essentially done on the Tasca Ford car. Front and rear window trim , as well as the body side moldings are BMF. But the door + 1/4 window frames are done with a 1mm chrome pen

Use an enamel paint, they dry slower than lacquers and allow a little more time to get the embossing powder to stick to it. Ive been told to use Elmers glue as well, but the one I did that with the carpet was peeling up along edge within a couple months

Hope you don't mind the tip. But the wing on a Daytona is aluminum, there for will not rust.

I'll bet Round 2 is keeping a close eye on how well there all new tool Camaro sells before deciding to do any more kits from scratch of any subject matter

I figure postage costs into my final bid or buy it now price. If it fits in my price range I'll make a bid/buy it now. If not I look elsewhere or wait for another one to pop up ,,,, and they usually do within a few days Ive sold a few kits on Facebook pages over the past few weeks and on a few , Ive been burned on postage costs. I figure postage costs at home using usps.com ,,only to find once I get to the post office I cant mail my box at parcel post, it has to go priority mail for some odd reason or another which is almost 50% higher.

Ive used them on 1/1 parts before . but never on a model. And aren't they one time use ? be kind of expensive

I found them locally at Johans Fabrics

I picked one up at Hobby Lobby about a month ago. And have it on the bench now actually. All I can say is the decals for this car dont like to play nice. Getting the large one over the rear wheels with all the compound curves isn't fun. Ive got on side on and it stick s where you lay it, attempts to move it around only makes the decal split apart

Thanks all. Got the bodies done with all the chrome work / Bare Metal Foil work on both cars . Working on the interiors now,, getting colors ( at least in my eye ) right . Found a duplicolor paint called Arizona Beige that looks pretty close to the painted upper portion of the doors (pics tomorrow maybe )

he is in process of closing up shop, aka no new decals

For some reason I'm thinking the Air Lift Rattler is a 69 Body. ? I've got one around here somewhere ,,,need to dig it out to be sure . Its the easiest one to pick out ,,,,,That one was molded in a pearl yellow btw

Any recommend rattle can colors for the tops of the doors.? Which car is #90 ?

Cool deal, I thought I had seen it someplace before. Gonna have to sit down and look around there. Saw a few I'de like to have

Mail man dropped these off today. All original issues 1962, 1963 and 1964 Galaxie convertibles . The 64 even still has the clear head lenses for the working lights
