customline Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 This is certainly one of the best kits from Revell. Lots of nice kustom options. The cammer came out of the '46, 7, 8 convertible kit bearing the Union label ( Testor's) which met with a sad fate. Thanks for looking 🤓on 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Great looking paint color and finish. Nice chrome trim. I like the louver hood option myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Very nice, period-perfect look to this one. Good, clean build all around, and just has that cover car look! I especially like the way the ribbed bumpers work with the grille; very attractive. Great color for a custom job, too. Very well done!

customline Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Thank you all for your compliments. The paint is Boyd's (MM), I'm pretty sure but the color name 🤔 maybe purple pearl ? I looked for the bottle with no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Great looking custom. I like the engine details and the color fits it nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hi Jim, the colour is gorgeous on that! I am not familiar with the kit, but having everything frenched (which I assume you did?) really adds to the overall look. Very nice build. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the work was already done by Revell. I just finished it for them. Steve, the kit is not currently available in stores mostly. This is what it looks like (below).

Chuckyg1 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Very nice. Love the additional mods you added. Period perfect. I'm thinking the color is dusty rose pearl, used it on a '65 Galaxies many moons ago. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the color, I couldn't find the bottle but it could be Dusty Rose or maybe Candy Scarlett. I have both of those in stock but I don't recall using either one. They are both full but I had more than one of some colors. The mystery deepens.🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see the tail lights from that angle but they are in there ☺️. The antennae are something I wish I hadn't done. They're a bit out of scale. 💩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That SHINE is not clear of any sort. I just use the "Lone Wolf" method I learned from his DVD. The only drawback of this method, if you go without clear (like I do most of the time), is that there must be enough paint on the model because you're going to remove some and how much you remove depends on the severity of the "orange peel." 🍊 I'm not a really good at paint work and they don't all turn out as good as this one 💩, but I'm OK with that. My paint work is done under some "unhelpful" conditions. I do the best I can. 🥴 Testor's paint is really good stuff (well, it was, but I don't know about now). It's a shame the parent company shut down Model Master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
