geetee66 Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 After a total cock up with the paint (I'm new to airbrushing..), which resulted in wet sanding back to primer, I figured out by how much I needed to thin decanted spray paint. I'm reasonably happy with it, except there was a warp in the chassis that only reared its ugly head during final assembly. Therefore, the bug catcher fouls the side of the hood opening. Oh well. Another lesson learned. I added a throttle arm, spring and some fuel lines, to give the engine a bit of detail. I used AK interactive true metal paint on some parts. It's very good.
shoopdog Posted November 25, 2017 Posted November 25, 2017 Turned out great, really like that color. I built one of these also but yours by far outshines mine with the added details.
Metaldrumm Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 Love the kit ,i have built a few myself ,you did a real nice job especally the paint.
Codi Posted November 26, 2017 Posted November 26, 2017 Nice looking build and for someone that is new to air brushing, your efforts paid off handsomely. cheers, tim
Hmann68 Posted November 27, 2017 Posted November 27, 2017 Really nice build, I think your paint looks great!
geetee66 Posted December 1, 2017 Author Posted December 1, 2017 Thanks chaps. I'm glad you like it It was a good test bed, for my airbrush skills. I thought this kit was very nice. The body looks spot on, to my eye. I might get another one and open the doors and trunk (but I have so many other projects to do, first!)
High octane Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Very nice build on that Willys as I'm a "gasser fan" and have built a few of those kits also.
gtx6970 Posted August 7, 2018 Posted August 7, 2018 Dude, That looks amazing. Ive been wanting to build a few gassers for my shelf. this one, The blue Stone , Woods and Cook car and John Mazmanians candy apple red car
Speedfreak Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Nice job Guy, paint job looks excellent! Beautiful red. I almost didn't look at this 'cause I've seen so many, glad I did.
