shoopdog Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 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. 11
espo Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 Great looking paint finish and decals. Like the stance and the wide whites. 1
Yeah Nah Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 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. 1
karbuildr Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 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. 1
spencer1984 Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 Nice clean work, and a great looking collection you've got there! 1
TarheelRick Posted February 3, 2024 Posted February 3, 2024 Very impressive build considering your implied simplicity. That paint looks smooth. Now if it was just Ford powered. 1
Zippi Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 I'm liking this one. I like your collection of Coca-Cola vehicles. 1
Sonorandog Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 Looks great, perfect paint choices and application. 1
mustang1989 Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 That's a pretty darn clean build you've turned out with this kit Keith. 1
ncbuckeye67 Posted February 5, 2024 Posted February 5, 2024 Wow, an excellent addition to your collection! 1
Dragonhawk1066 Posted February 6, 2024 Posted February 6, 2024 Nice work! Craft paints are way underrated in my opinion, they're mostly all I use. 1

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. 1
happy grumpy Posted February 7, 2024 Posted February 7, 2024 A beautiful box art build. You nailed it. 1

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. 1
