Smilesperhour Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 I realised I only got to page 2 and missed all the other goodness!!! The weathering looks good. Love the detail and effort around the number decals and the door fittings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
65slotcar Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Great project Pierre ! Chaparrals didn't win a lot of races, but they sure did look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not perfect but good enough for a 35 part kit. 🙂 Maybe not perfect in person but it looks amazing in the photo ! I have a couple of those weathering sets , I need to start using them more often .

iBorg Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 For a simple, no one bothers to add details kit, you've added a bunch of details! Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still lacking in my opinion. Considering perhaps a delicate rub with Tamiya weathering silver to the screens... I "dunno" advice please? I might just dry brush some white, on top. You might want to "dusty" them up, a tad, too. Maybe a little ground-up pastels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love these old Monogram kits, and you are absolutely killing this! I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The screens turned out great Pierre, and the decals look fabulous so far. Your project is a fine example of what one can do to dress up a simple kit. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
