Sprayed some TS54 over a real dark blue base. Yields me a color REALLY close to the exterior Almost dead on . Used the Fusion Chrome on valve covers Imo. They are as good as kit chrome pieces

After messing with the stock kit chassis I saw no real way to get the car to sit ' right' So I jumped in both feet to modify the body ( very scary feeling ) and a Lindberg chassis from one of the SS Dodge / Plymouth kits Taking a knife and grinder to a kit that was painted many years ago was scary as I have no idea what I used to paint it back then But all in all. It went well and with a bunch of mods to both chassis and body. It fits . Pretty well I think. In all honesty. This one was a test to see if I could do similar mods to a Johan 1963 Dodge kit I have Even though the kit has a Dana rear axle. which is wrong for this car, I'll live with it as I do nt have any spare 8-3/4 rear axles to give up for this car I haven't decided fully if I will try to make or use Johan fender well headers,,,,OR just use the Lindberg pieces. Chassis required I cut A lot off the ft and some trimming on the back. Otherwise it fits decent I had to remove everything behind the kit body grille to make it fit , ( that was scary )

i have him making me 2 different sheets right now He did mention he was 10 weeks backlogged . Im in no hurry

I have that kit and this is THE very car I plan to replicate FY1 Yellow, Tan interior sunroof and trunk mounted luggage rack

Smooth primer is a must, Been using Tamiya's white primer the most lately . And Most time I dont even sand it Light coats of color, built up over a hour or two Same goes for clear if I do it. Let that sit a few days and usually just a light wet sand with maybe a progressive sanding pads from about 3000 to maybe a 10,000 grit then polish with microfiber cloth and Meguires cream polish Now, That said is my stuff flawless ? absolutely not. I build for me not a show judge, So paint perfection is a trait I rarely try to achieve. This one just happened to turn out pretty darn nice , IMO You can not feel the transition from one color to the other. Best part is, Its all rattle cans

update I have ONE spare sheet out of a kit I bought a while back that will not be built as the Landy car . This kit isnt cheap I'll be honest It looks like maybe the clear coat has / had issues ? Hard to describe or show in photos So that said , IMO the only way I would attempt to use it is clear coat it first If thats ok, PM me, we can talk But it makes for very cool build on the shelf

Im guessing the 65 barracuda is close to store shelves Svens World of Wheels has one in process I will be getting a couple of these for myself

I might Will ck tomorrow

One of my favorites And probably one of the most detailed ive done is a loooong time

Looking good. Ive been playing with colors to try and replicate this car As it is on my short list, VERY short list to do

Agreed

Thanks for the offer But too wide for my needs I have .5mm wide decals on order

Thanks all. I have the 1/64th decals stripes ordered Gonna be after the 1st of the year before I get started on this one Ive gotta find the right color paint fingers crossed it goes ok

Traded Mods can delete if desired

Another one from the early 80s timeframe I think All Johan kit build I have a few of these Johan kits and plan/want to do another one someday . Only hopefully It will turn out much better I will not take this one apart for any reason Im actually quite surprised it has survived all these years intact. After multiple moves including one across country move

I think they're cool as

Ive had this Johan kit in the stash for a LOOOOOONG time . And felt it was time to make something of it Basic stock box build ( kinda sorta ) Rear rims are from the Johan 71 Cuda kit Decals are from the Revell 67 GTX kit Tamiya rattle cans for all 3 colors with Tamiya clear on top of it I need to find the radiator hose and Dist cap. But overall, Its done I bought the resin sixpack hood several years back so no idea who made it. This way I can display it both ways with it or the stock hood SS/E car was flat hood. MP class car had the sixpack hood Comments or critiques are much appreciated and more than welcome either way !

Mine is in limbo at the moment But I am as far as making all the trim for the 66. Chassis is done , power train is in and that where I stopped

Thanks all, I think I have enough info I can move forward with for sure

I think these might work price is right any way to make an attempt https://www.ebay.com/itm/197615194057

On the 1/1 I think the gold is painted pinstripe on top of the blue Appears to be about a 1/2inch maybe wide I;ll be cking out Microscale later today . I did see they had this one / but need to see what scale they say it is I did lay out some 1mm wide Tamiya tape and it MIGHT work , but deep down would prefer something just a touch narrower I have a pinstripe decal sheet from The Last Detail . but there's not enough stripes to do the entire car all the way around on the sheet . IF its even still any good I will try to take 2 exacto blades in one tool in an attempt to make my own and see what it comes out to as well

Wonding if anyone has ideas on how , if even possible to replicate this gold pinstripe in between the 2 blue stripes Im thinking a .5mm wide tape if that is a size even avail take two Exacto blades mounted side by side and make my own from a gold foil type tape maybe? will even that be narrow enough?

I have them as well , And I will say they are NICE

My Landy Charger is from an MPC annual IMO the door scallops on the MPC body are more accurate versus the Revell kit. But overall the Revell kit is much better
