Safire6 Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Very nice! Along with everything else, I like the white lettering on the tires. I built this kit a few years ago and painted it white with red interior. I built it with Cragars also but didn't foil the trim like you did. Nice job!

Ralph Henderson Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Nicely done. I forgot how much I like that kit, you did a great job with it..
Funkychiken Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 It is a great build, and paint job. The candy paint may end up better with fewer thinner coats, too thick, and the effect disappears.

It can be a trade off between getting the depth of color that you want and losing the flake. This one is on the borderline. The flake in the gold is rather fine to start with (they call it "Sparklescent" rather than metal flake), but you can still see it in the right light.
