madhorseman Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) All was going along alright, until I started buffing the paint out and the front clip came undone. And I had done so well in getting it all smoothed out and no seems showing....oh well. Edited December 25, 2016 by madhorseman
madhorseman Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 OOPS!! Forgot the pics with color on. They aren't the best, but hopefully convey the idea.
madhorseman Posted December 11, 2016 Author Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) Feelin' bad that most of my shiny red paint will be covered by decals, Edited December 11, 2016 by madhorseman
bbowser Posted December 12, 2016 Posted December 12, 2016 Nice work. MM was always a favorite, and always a threat to win!
Merkur XR4Ti Posted January 18, 2017 Posted January 18, 2017 That looks great! What decals did you use? What paint? And lastly, can you give some tips on the chassis? I've got a Hooters Underbird on my bench right now and I had a terrible time getting the chassis together. Yours looks so much cleaner than mine.

What I used was a Monogram Nascar Thunderbird kit. The reason I say this is because I had problems with an AMT Thunderbird kit. The decals used are Power Slide and paint is Dupli Color Ford Toreador Red. Hope this helps.

Merkur XR4Ti Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 I meant what kinds of building techniques did you use on the chassis? I'm using a Revell for my Hooters car and I had trouble. But it's not the fault of the kit, it's the fault of the builder.
Lanny Haas Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Testors kiln red metallic works for this car also

But it's not the fault of the kit, it's the fault of the builder.Coincidentally Steve, I had built this chassis for a AK Hooters Thunderbird!Anyway, I am by no means an expert. First I sprayed painted mine with Testor Nascar colors chassis grey, before removing any parts off the trees. Using CA fast drying glue helps, test fitting before gluing, then carefully joining parts together. Practice always helps.
donb Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Testors kiln red metallic works for this car alsoWhen I built my Mark Martin Folgers car I believe the actual car color was Ford Wild Strawberry. I read an article way back then and I believe the car was painter that color.
