Grump's '65 Plymouth Black Arrow

[papajohn97]

This is one of three Moebius '65 Plymouth super stock kits that I just completed, sort of a mini-production line I've been doing this month.  

This one was built from the Moebius Butch Leal California Flash A990 kit to which I added the excellent Bill Jenkins Black Arrow decal set from Slixx, resin Holley carbs from Fireball, a Detail Master aluminum distributor and lug wires and some scratch built fuel lines and linkage. The Butch Leal kit came with a stick transmission which I switched out with an automatic and column shifter from the Moebius A/FX AWB Plymouth kit. Base paint is Scalefinishes Ford Corinthian White.  These three builds are the first where Ive used BMF (the new stuff which sticks really well!) and clear coated my base paints with Mr. Color GX100 lacquer which is a far kinder to decals than Tamiya TS-13 which I've used for most of my past builds.  Love love love these Moebius '65 Plymouths and am really looking forward to building the new Dodge when it gets released.  I'll post photos of the other two separately. Cheers, John

Another  fine model.  Is the GX100 available in a spray can (I’m old and lazy)?

They do! “Mr Super Clear Gloss” and “Mr Super Clear UV Cut” (non-yellowing), both made by Gunze Mr Color. I always loved Tamiya TS-13 rattlecans but it eats decals. Think I’ll try these Mr Super Clear spray cans on my next shiny project.

Nice work.

Wow John  great job on all three 1965 was the best year for car styling ,drag racing , I’d like to build some of these myself but I’m hung up in a pro stock building binge. Your engine detailing is amazing you even did the brake line on the master cylinder. The wheels look real nice to. The Sox & Martin is also my favorite.

Great Job John, I had thought of this one for my "spare parts" project, but of course, I would have to alter the wheelbase for the later look.  Regardless, great job, as always.

Those beautiful Stockers need their own display case. Perfect! 

Even throttle return spring. Perfect off white paint.

Wow John. Some more fantastic Super Stock builds! I can’t believe I missed this thread from 2023. I’m planning to do the Black Arrow car as well, and found your thread through performing an online search. Would you post some pics of the other two cars as well?
