echoxrayniner Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Man I enjoyed this kit so, so much. I wish I had bought the photo etched parts for this kit so the emblems would look less like stickers and more like, well yeah emblems. The only thing I didn't really like about the kit is that the interior decals kind of look like those old LEGO ones with comical knobs and such. And also kinda wish I had an airbrush to clear-coat the body after doing the silver, hand painting a metallic coat is... savagely difficult already and figured it would look even less good if I hand painted a clear coat on it. But hey, stubbornness perseveres. Also messed up the 442 with an chrome/silver acrylic pen which now literally tears my OCD-ridden-soul asunder everytime I see it.

bbowser Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Looks pretty sharp to me. I really like the way the convertible top looks. Am I to understand this is brush painted? If so, outstanding job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
echoxrayniner Posted October 14, 2016 Author Share Posted October 14, 2016 Looks pretty sharp to me. I really like the way the convertible top looks. Am I to understand this is brush painted? If so, outstanding job!Yup, never airbrushed a single model in my life, attempted once but the compressor my old man got me gave up living so quickly abandoned the idea. The only exclusion is I used a Testors spraycan to make a model metallic blue cause a painting attempt at it failed miserably, but of the +/- 70 models I got, only one's sprayed. And thanks! <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echoxrayniner Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 Thanks! ^-^Also, coming to think of it as someone might know around here, those Jo-Han kits of various Oldsmobiles, were they any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geetee66 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Nice job, especially as it's brush-painted.If you can't get along with an airbrush, try automotive spray paint. It's all I use and the results are much better than brush paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
