Mercelo Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 This is the old original issue of this kit, which was a real nice kit, l have to admit l was impressed with the fit. Only problem l had was the old decals....brutal, couldn't make them work. So luckily, l had two of these kits in my stash, and the second one was still sealed so l was forced to rob the decals from it. Still not the best! I painted the stripes rather than using the kit decals so l could ensure everything matched nicely color wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Nice model. I see you have the same problem I have, getting the plug wires to drape the way they would on a real car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futurattraction Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Super job, Marcelo. Nice detailing and finish work. I, too, really like the low-angle photos. Am I correct in thinking you have stripped the wheels and repainted them? They don't look, to my eye, like they've got the chromed finished that the kit ones do.

Mercelo Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Thank you, fellow modellers, l love the comments. Yes ( Futureattraction) you are correct sir, l almost always strip the chrome parts off my models, and then use the Alclad system with either chrome or polished aluminum to obtain (in my opinion) a more believable look. I was pleased with the turn out of the wheels, on this model, but as you probably know, it doesn't always work out perfectly....there is a fine line to be walked, when trying to achieve a chrome look for sure. Good eye, thanks for the nice comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragcarz Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Did you adjust the front ride height, it seems most of these kits I see built have the nose too high? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Very nice job on this Pro Stock Ford! I have the same kit in my stash waiting to be built, but I'm missing the decals for it... Anyway you did a great job on this. The paint and decal work looks really good to me even though you had some problems, and sharp details in the engine bay look good too. Nice work.
