eran_k Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 So i started working on the MPC 72 Chevy "Racersa Wedge", kit is quite basic but ok. engine is quite nicely detailed. had a badly warped hood, so i tried to fix it with some heat and clamping to a straight surface, which helped a little. main body and the ramp are primed with surfacer 1200, still debating on a color. I'm thinking either metallic lime green or yellow. chassis is painted and other small bits and pieces are in the process. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eran_k Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Green was selected, the cab interior is painted in a non metallic green i found in my paints, seats and other details will be hand painted in different colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eran_k Posted August 7, 2023 Author Share Posted August 7, 2023 engine done and attached in place, interior tub also done. next will be clearing the body, assembly, decals and some more detail painting. the grill on this model is quite bad i know it will give me griefs... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted August 8, 2023 Share Posted August 8, 2023 Like the added color detailing on the bucket seats. This makes the interior look more interesting than all one color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eran_k Posted August 9, 2023 Author Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) Moving on, cleared (although clear coat was never my best skill), glass and interior tub assembled, grill assembled - turned out better the i excepted. cab and ramp mocked up on frame, no major issues so far, i think i need to raise the ramp a bit to line up with the cab Edited August 9, 2023 by eran_k 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragcarz Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Love your build, beautiful interior! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eran_k Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 Added some black wash to the grill, detailed painted and decals applied (still need to to the other side of the ramp) Also aligned the ramp better by adding some plastic strips on the frame, i think it came out pretty good 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
