lordorion1974 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Here's a couple of pics of the last model I completed in 2019 (1 of about 3 or 4 I did all year!) I had found some pictures online of one in this paint job and interior pics of another with a white interior with color blocking on the seats and door panels (but in red, not blue). So I combined the two and here we are! This one included a first for me, as the stripes are painted on with careful measuring and eyeballing. I was quite happy with the results and thought I'd share. I'll probably add a couple more touches in the near future, such as a personalized license plate and try and get the FORD trim on the trunk chromed/painted.
Reuhkapelti2 Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 Very sharp and clean Ford. You have succeeded to paint those stripes well, not always so easy to avoid leaks under the masking tape.
lordorion1974 Posted February 20, 2020 Author Posted February 20, 2020 Thanks! Luckily/wisely I purchased and used Tamiya tape to do it with! Well worth the extra couple of bucks.
Monty Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 This may be the best build of that kit I've seen. Your grille detailing looks great and the Tamiya tape was obviously worth every penny. Given how the body and interior turned out, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to see some engine and chassis pics too. Just out of curiosity, would you mind telling us what paint you used on the body (ex: Testors #1265).
lordorion1974 Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 The color is Testors #1836 Deja Blue. I was building this one alongside a '70 Chevelle 454 for my brother-in-law as a birthday present and I added plug wires to his. I didn't do anything special to the chassis or engine on this one, I was detailed out, plus this one was just for me. But here's an overhead and a pic of the engine bay. I should probably go back and add some paint here and there in the engine bay to flesh it out more. Strangely enough, I have always been a Chevy man and the only models I have on display in my house are all Fords!
stevez Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 that AMT kit with the 427 is very underrated. One of their best if you upgrade the tires, wheels.
donb Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Looks great. Paintwork is impressive. Well done.
espo Posted February 21, 2020 Posted February 21, 2020 Great looking Fairlane. I agree with everyone else on the paint work, and getting those stripes to line up perfectly and no bleed thru.
BeakDoc Posted February 25, 2020 Posted February 25, 2020 Very nice! Great color choices inside and out.
