Just finished this kit up that my son had given me for Xmas. Surprisingly not many issues with this one. This is my first build where I did not use any rattle cans. Airbrushed cheap cheap acrylic Apple Barrel white paint thinned with windshield washer fluid and sprayed Future straight from the bottle. I don’t drink any pop but I’m really liking these Coke branded kits. Thanks for looking.

Nice addition! 

Pretty sure this was the first year Falcon released here in Australia though we didn't use the name Ranchero; it was called a Falcon ute. The Falcon name ran for decades here- I have a 2005 station wagon.

Very nice, I like the decals and the paint finish. Gotta love wide whites and steelies with poverty caps. I like the Coca Cola family portrait with your other builds.

Nice work! Craft paints are way underrated in my opinion, they're mostly all I use.

Thanks Craig, I agree on the craft paint. At 1.08 a bottle for gloss it’s hard to beat, and I only used a small fraction of it.

Looks great!  

Do you recall what ratio you used for the Apple Barrel washer fluid mix? 

I have a bit of each on my bench to try out, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Thank you Shawn. I mix it 50/50.
