shoopdog Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Nah Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbuildr Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Very impressive build considering your implied simplicity. That paint looks smooth. Now if it was just Ford powered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonhawk1066 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Nice work! Craft paints are way underrated in my opinion, they're mostly all I use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
