That's what I was afraid of. Pretty much confirms my findings. Now to figure out how to get the texture under a decal

Well. Decision made. I couldn't live with it Plus I want to widen the hood stripes So....Taped It back up. And will Reshoot it later today.

I know the the 1968 Dart kits has 2 versions.... One with ( GSS ) and one without ( hemi dart ) a molded vinyl top. Is the 69 Dart non molded vinyl top only ?

Anyone have one avail? If so...let's talk

The Blue is too dark I think. It's tamiya TS51 I believe It has maybe 3 light coats over the silver I'll look this weekend and if i fid a lighter blue .....ill maybe tape it back up respray the blue The Dart is all decals btw

This

The coral is on the seats. I'll let it dry a few days. Then do the black.

Original issue 1959 Ford Galaxie convertible built-up . A before picture from back then just to show what I started with I started this one long ago . 8 -9 years maybe . I Got it painted then had issues with painting the interior. SO,,,, back in the box it went Interior has been stripped and now in Tamiya white primer for a base line Well,,, now that I have more time on my hands.( and a new airbrush I want to try out ) Its time to give this one another chance for the case Ive attached a link to a 1/1 car to show my ultimate goal for a finished product 1959 Ford Galaxie Skyliner Convertible for Sale at Auction - Mecum Auctions Lets see if I can pull off the interior colors ,, Wish me luck Interior has been stripped and now in Tamiya white primer for a base line Edit, Looks I started this in 2017

Its done and posted in under glass forum Thanks all

Just need address

I can probably help with the custom rims from the Coronet

The 68 ( and the 69 btw ) Coronet were always SS/FA , 440 auto as far as I know of

Edit Still looking

I have a Landy build of the Coronet on the bench now. Decals are tough to come up with. I bought a so so copy of the slixx sheet ..... I've talked to Chuck Boerner about these decals for this car. So we will see if it pans out..or not The headers in the kit are garbage btw. And though my intention was use them and keep it box stock....I'm not sure I will though.

It REALLY made the gold pop. Just added sparkle to the black But. Yes It laid down very nice I have to admit.

The reissued kit from about 10 years ago. I had rebuilt an original issue years ago....but in a weak moment up and sold it. No odea why. No matter....But I felt it was time for another one in my case. This isnt nothing fancy. Some engine details added. Swapped out the kit wheels for a set of the more correct Hurst rims and tires from the sparesbox Tamiya colors with duplicolor 1k clear topcoat. All rattle cans I think it came out real good for under 10 days build time end to end.

Getting close. I had to get creative with wheel backs to keep the tires under the body ft and rears. In order to use the Hurst wheels I wanted. But...it's all set now. I need to get exhaust figured out But Final assy today or maybe tomorrow

Anyone have larger / clear photos of this exact car I'm Talking to Chuck Boerner about making them for the Revell dart And I THINK , the hood scoop is white with just the lace decals on top, NOT the sides

Agreed. IMO the best one is probably the Revell B/RB engine from the Revell 1968-69 Dart and / or Charger kits But none of them have a single plane intake manifold in it. For that You're most likely have to go aftermkt / resin suppliers

REAL hard to see unless you are holding it close or out in the sun , Neither of which will be an issue for me. As once its done and in my case. You cant see it under natural light. As its not near as pronounced in person as these pics show it to be

Slight update. Lesson learned today Cleared the body today,,,,and as soon as the paint started to fly, I noticed something different in the overspray in the box ( aka spray booth ) Pulled the body out in the sun and it now has a pearl look to it. REAL hard to see unless you are holding it close or out in the sun , Neither of which will be an issue for me I would strip it, But 1 - I dont have another set of decals., 2, I kinda like it actually. Its kinda cool in its own weird way So, Im gonna live with it and move on. Oddly enough,,,,,,, Its one of the best overall shines Ive ever got from a rattle can clear . So thats a plus So, lesson here is READ the can closely when you buy it

Nice. Very nice. Chris Walsh decals? I have 3 Darts built myself....and at least 2 more to build. The Demented Dart. And Charlie Allen's blue SS/EA car.

.I got the good center stripe a little too narrow. But.....I'll live with it. I got the decals on it tonite. If all is well tomorrow.... I'll clear it maybe late tomorrow....or Wednesday morning.

Im still waiting on decals for the Landy Coronet. So decided to see if I can knock one of these out . Dug it out the end of last week and dove right in I built one many years ago and in a weak moment , Sold it. Bought one of these repops several years back for just this day. Its a very simple kit and really screams for some detailing. So, I've decided to add some upgrades, Nothing fancy just some simple fuel lines and spark plug wiring. Fuel lines are a braided wire from Hobby Lobby and craft beads, Dist is a pre wired piece from MAD Swapping out the rear tires for something better, And will swap out the generic kit wheels for the more accurate Hurst wheels instead The body is/will be Tamiya gold and gloss black ,, and I'll let it sit a day or 2 , then mask it off to do the black . I'm undecided to just how I'll do the exhaust as I'm finding several different versions was used on this car back then Comments or critique's welcome, Thanks for looking

Pm me address. I got ya covered on both
