69 Nova W.I.P.

[Semi Trailer Mechanic]

What's goin' on...

Next on the work bench is Revell's 69 Nova. On this I'm doing a two tone paint job solid yellow flames on black. Originally I was going to use the AMT 69 Chevelle however this kit seems to be on the endangered species list. These days the 69 Nova is everywhere so this is the perfect candidate to use and to boot it'll probably look really cool if the flames work out!!!

To start I used Tamiya yellow and painted the front 2/3s of the body. When dry the flames will be drawn and then it'll a coat of liquid mask. As soon as that drys out I'll use Testors (black handled) exacto knife and scribe around the flames and put the first coat of gloss black. Below is the first W.I.P. pic and then a "VERY" quick drawing of how I was thinking about doing the flames.

You experienced fellas at painting I'd like to have your opinion and advice if I'm going about this the best way.

Thanks for looking!!!

i think you will be alright with what you got here!! except if i was you i would sand that line where your yellow paint stops!! if you dont you will have a line show up in the black.. if you feather that line and let the yellow just blow back over the back with no solid tape line then do your flames you should be golden!!
