cobraman Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Starting this kit . Any surprises in store for me ? Pics of any that someone has built ? Thinking I will do the red , white and blue paint scheme .
Modelbuilder Mark Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Oh Nice! When was that last reissued?
cobraman Posted January 28, 2020 Author Posted January 28, 2020 I think it was reissued a couple years ago.
Rich Chernosky Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 Didn't even know this kit existed....I want one now. Should be a cool build.
cobraman Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 I really messed this up. I am doing the red, white and blue color scheme and I had done the center section white. So today I carefully masked to get ready to apply the red. I sprayed the red and took the tape off to find a nice crisp border between the colors. I went back into the house when the shock hit me. These cars are painted red to white to blue . Oh no ! I masked the rear and sprayed it red ! No ! It was suppose to be the blue on the rear. Luckily I found a couple photos on the web of ones painted in the reverse. Not what I wanted but now I can live with my stupid error.

cobraman Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 Got the body painted but not yet cleared . Not prefect and some touch up needed but not bad .
cobraman Posted February 2, 2020 Author Posted February 2, 2020 Thanks Dann, I'm sure I will mess up something along the way. ?
bigdrag1 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 There is no wrong way to paint those colors, did that to my funny car build..
shoopdog Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Looking at your photo Ray you definitely achieved a crisp line, looks good.
cobraman Posted February 11, 2020 Author Posted February 11, 2020 Finally had some time to get back on this kit . Not a copy of any real car . Still a bunch to do but think I can wrap it up in a couple weeks or so .
