rastta Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 This was the reissued Lindberg kit. Really a nice kit overall, fit was excellent on most everything. Finished in Testors Extreme Mythical Maroon with Wet look clear. Really like how a lot of the trim was actually chrome which limited having to foil or molotow larger areas. Engine was done with VHT engine paint - as it was the closest I could find to a bronze. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I really like how this turned out. These cars look awesome in a number of colors, but I think they flat out rock in medium to darker reds. Question: would you mind sharing the P/N for the engine paint? I would've thought VHT paint might be too hot for styrene. Did you do anything special to prevent any damage, or did it just go on without any issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested it on some scrap and it didn't stick well. So I tried it with a red oxide primer and that did the trick. I think any decent primer would work - I was out of grey or white. It didn't affect the final color though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
