Dragonhawk1066 Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Working on this one for a build-off for a tips and tricks Facebook group. Color is Model Master Honduras Maroon and Tamiya TS-38 Gunmetal. I didn't think the Maroon was going to be metallic based on researching the color on Google, but I was hoping it was. Upon spraying the first coat, I knew I was going to like it. I was originally going to go with black for the fenders, but I knew if the body color was metallic I would go with the Gunmetal. Progress on this one has been pretty fast as it's a fairly basic kit with not a lot of parts or detail, but I am liking it so far. I'm also going to go with the Dewey, Cheatum and Howe decals on this one.
espo Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Great looking build so far. I'm a big fan of this kit and the subject. Where did you get your White Wall tires ?
AmericanMuscleFan Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Very nice color combo Craig! Superb subject, the '40 Ford front grille is one of the nicest of that era! You're on a great start sir!
Tom Geiger Posted June 22, 2020 Posted June 22, 2020 Mentioned recently.. Ford Courier chassis fits under this like it belongs there! I had Dodge D50 chassis under one as well!

Interesting, I am assuming they are a little more detailed and/or give a little more modern look?

Roadrunner Posted June 25, 2020 Posted June 25, 2020 Cool project. I have the same kit sitting here, but will more than likely go with a vintage scheme, but Stooges graphics.
jamesG Posted June 28, 2020 Posted June 28, 2020 Love the subject and sedan deliveries. Looking great so far. Look forward to seeing more.
