LVZ2881 Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 My most detailed model yet...Revell-ogram kit and decals. resin steel wheels from board member airbrush ayatollah. I tried using Revell redline tire decals, but they suck and broke and I didnt have any shabo redlines, so I stuck some Goodyear radial transfers on the car. Lets imagine it was restored in the late 80's..ok!? Genuine Mopar Street Hemi Orange engine paint. oversprayed the exhaust manifolds and negative battery cable just like the factory did it. Radio Shack wire for the heater hoses and Radio Shack diodes for fuel line and filters. added the drain hoses to the airbox using the same wire. ignition coil from evergreen round stock. embossing powder for carpeting. used Ceramic acrylic paint from Michaels to black out the grille and rear taillight areas. If you havent tried this, it works grear as the areas you dont want black on will rub right off. outside pic
LVZ2881 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Posted March 20, 2009 that looks very nice! love the color on that thing too. you did your homework on the engine details, job well done! now how about that Butterscotch Bee? Dave thats 4 or 5 builds down the road...got a few others to finish first.. but the butterscotch bee will probably get cragars and be a day 2 build.
RodneyBad Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Dang!! I love that Green.. paint looks Awesome. Black steelies with Raised white letter tires. Rocks the looks.. Fantastic job.. I love it..
fordh8r Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 Very clean build! Very nice. I like the red and blue striped oil filter. Looks just like the factory stuff, very cool and well detailed.
Bryce Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Great job - one of my favourite cars in one of my favourite colours.
george 53 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 James, just what/who's color is that? I had a 69 SuperBee that was F-5 Green, looks REAL close to your color. Is it a factory color? Or is it a Tamiya color?(It looks it) VERY nice,clean build.! Great job!
Bernard Kron Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Very nice. Real crisp and well detailed. It looks real enough that in some of the pics it looks like it was photgraphed in the Land Of The Giant Kitchen Appliances !
Modlbldr Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Wow James- That looks great! You did some really nice work. I can't wait to see that Butterscotch Bee you are talking about. I can't wait to get that Porsche kit too. Later-

Or is it a Tamiya color?(It looks it) VERY nice,clean build.! Great job! George, thats plain old Tamiya Metallic Green over grey primer, right from the rattle can. I was very happy that it was real close to the F5 green I was going for, without having to spend the $$ on MCW rattle cans. I'm going to use it for my Chevy Rallye Green cars, too...especially since Mopar F5 green and GM Rallye green are the same color...
Jeff Johnston Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Nice. REAL nice... One quesiotn. Where'd yoo get the Eagle ST's ? Are they dry transfers or resin ? Jeff
LVZ2881 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 Nice. REAL nice... One quesiotn. Where'd yoo get the Eagle ST's ? Are they dry transfers or resin ? Jeff Jeff, the "Eagle St's" are Shabo transfers... cleared the tire, put on the transfers, then the tire was dullcoated..
