Nice job

Thanks Scott!

I fired up the paintbooth and primered and painted the Fairlane this afternoon.  The color is Model Master Wimbeldon White.

More Fairlane to come...

I had found some sanding marks in the plastic and in the process of polishing, I had polished almost through the paint.  I masked off the trunk lid and added a couple coats of Model Master Wimbeldon White.

I couldn't resist the urge to do a mockup of the Fairlane.  This is looking really good!

Your build is coming along quite nicely

Thank You for sharing 

and

Building it Your way, I find it so refreshing to just build a kit with one purpose in mind........

I have been enjoying your Fairlane build. The interior and exterior colors look great together. I had a neighbor / CHP Officer that had one back in the day. The little 271 hp 289 cu in 4 speed car was his daily driver. You could hear the solid lifters as he cruised down the block after work.

Thanks Russell and David!  This build is different for me.  It has allowed my to reconnect with an old friend and to build this kit completely different from what Revell wanted it built as.

I started foiling last night and I continued on this morning.  This one spear took me about 30 minutes total time to do.

I am nearly done foiling the '64 Fairlane.  All that's left is the side moldings and window trim.  I painted the doghouse with Tamiya X-18 Semi Gloss Black.

Looking great!  Thanks for building it differently than the box,

[mrmike]

Thanks Guido and Randy!  This was someone else's vision, but with a few touches by me.  I have another '64 Fairlane to build with the 427/auto trans and a Modelhaas resin bench seat.  I may follow a simular route with that build as I did with build.

I have clearcoated the '64 Fairlane with 3 coats of Model Master Ultra Gloss Clear.

Great looking paint work. I like the addition of the red in the side trim. many overlook that touch. 

[mrmike]

Thanks David!  The stripes are on the decal sheet, so why not use them?

After 4 hours in the dehydrator @110 degrees, I pulled the Fairlane out and started assembly.
