restoman Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 My version of a life-long strip warrior... a car that made it to the track early in it's life and stayed there. A nice kit to build, this one had a lot of scratches on the windows and the chrome was completely trashed, like someone had sprayed it with Windex. Detailing the grill and rear taillight panel was tricky - had to cover the Alclad with Future before anything else could be done. No wash on this one... Duplicolor Gold covered with over-thinned ProSpray real car clear. I put the stripes on top of the clear, wish I'd put them under but they weren't part of the original plan. This is the most detail I've ever put into a model and most of it was fun. Pinned the wipers, mirror and door handles, another first for me. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Never could find the hood ornament... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
