Nacho Z Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Here are a few pics of the latest model from my hobby bench. This is the Revell Tweedy Pie 2. This is not my normal genre. It was/is meant to be a low stress, quick, fun build and it pretty much filled those requirements. It is box stock. It was airbrushed in decanted Testors Purple-Licious and the only reason I did that is my NOS can had leaked. Almost all of the chrome was stripped and shot with Alclad Chrome. The wheels, oil pan, valve covers and headlights were the only things left in kit chrome. I did not like the too tall windshield so I left it off. One big boo-boo was applying Tamiya black panel liner in the newly opened exhaust ends and then accidentally touching one and having the panel liner wick up and destroy the Alclad Chrome on the end. As I said, stress free build....I just touched up the end with Testors Chrome Silver paint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ea0863 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 Just plum crazy how nice it turned out! Isn't something called "Tweedy Pie" supposed to be colored canary yellow though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy grumpy Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 That's a fast looking canary, better put on goggles if you planned to drive it. Seriously though, it's a fine build and I love the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one's a Pie, so purple means its blueberry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 The color really works well with the chrome trim and interior. Looking at the picture head on the front suspension looks very realistic. The rear tires are impressive, did they come in the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
