TransAmMike Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I finally completed this model after some paint issues and a bout with COVID. I'm not at all satisfied with the pictures but after taking a bunch I said screw it and gave up trying to get what I would consider acceptable (to me at least) so here are a few not too bad ones. If anyone looked at the WIP pics you would see I used Stynylrez gray primer, Createx Gold pearl mid coat and Createx Purple pearl topcoat. Clear is Future. The wheels are Competition Resins (purchased from the good folks at Slixx Decals). The rear tires are N-50 MT's from Fireball Modelworks. Thanks all for checking it out😎 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 That's a Looker Buddy. Love that body color and the interior. I really like the pics taken outside. It makes that purple really pop. Glad you got it finished. Nice job man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonhawk1066 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Looks great Mike! I like the wheel and tire choice, and that purple looks excellent. I have that purple too, and have a project in mind for it but it probably won't be this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
