Hello again new build on the bench,haven't built anything ford in awhile,so dug this out of the pile a couple weeks ago. Color is Scalefinishes Calypso Coral with a couple coats of Splash Paints clear,decided to do most of my BMF on the body and paint the marker lights first then clearcoat over top. Decided i wanted to go with a look of a car that's been driven spring to fall over the years, so i painted the chassis Tamiya Flat Brown and various Vallejo colors. Used some Fireball tires decals to represent replaced tires,due to some "Accidental acceleration Incidents' ,over the years😬 i also added wheel weights and valve stems but the camera is not picking them up. Engine is painted for some reason the camera makes it look all shiny but it's not,i used heater hose for the spark plug boots i had to stretch them a little to fit over the molded ones on the valve covers. I tried a new technique for doing the woodgrain,i used Testors Sand paint as the base,followed by Brown Tamiya Panel wash,then Tamiya Clear Yellow,the speedometer deals are from an old Last detail sheet.I also added some P/E keys as usual I heat stained the exhaust and added a light wash of Tamiya Black panel wash on the engine for a little dirty look
