Then I saw this, wow, what a beauty! Of course it helps that the paint is flawless. Love this build, very clean. Cheers, Steve The green was supposed to be Frost Green but I ended up sending misleading pictures to the company that makes my paints. I the end I really liked the color ??

Can-Con Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Beautiful I almost mistook the first pic for a 1/1 car. ?
majel Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 This is really nice! Great job on the vinyl top, it is very realistic looking.

I misread someone else's post about wanting to try airbrushing. I need to pay attention to what I am reading. Your paint is flawless, just beautiful.

Thank you very much for the tips you gave in your Chevelle video. They were a turning point. I used almost all your tips on this kit. Including sanding the paint between layers. Great! And applying dry coats of clear over the decals and then sanding before applying the wet coats. Man... What a difference!!! 7 hours ago, Bills72sj said: Ditto that! ???
lordairgtar Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I have this kit. I want to do an Acadian because of the plain grille work. Now seeing yours, it's got me more motivated.
