1930 Model A Ford Coupe

[Zippi]

Well....after a disaster yesterday with the paint and glue I stopped crying about it and got it done.  It was primed with Tamiya white surface primer, paint is Tamiya X-14 Sky Blue thinned with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner and shot through my Paasche H airbrush.  There is not clear coat on the body.  The paint was just polished.  Interior was brushed with Tamiya XF-57 Buff.  Other than the plug wires and Radiator support rods it's box stock.  Tell me whatya think fellows.

Thanks Bill.  Its a nice kit.  Get-er out and get stared.

Great looking paint finish and color. The thing that I notice the most is what you don't notice. That is the roof section being separate from the body and where they meet is hard to hide the way this kit body is designed. But you just don't see that point where they meet in these pictures.

Thanks Dave.  The kit fits together very well.

Glad you got it fixed rather than stuck in a box. Nicely done.

Been retired now for 11 years. I highly recommend it. Put in 34 years with the State of Georgia (GDOT).

Beautifully done Bob! Some day I'm going to get the guts to pull out my brand new airbrush still sitting in the box and try my hand at it

Nice.  For some reason I was thinking you had retired recently.

Thanks.  Once you use an airbrush it's hard to go back to the rattle cans.
