My recently completed AMT1967 Chevelle Pro Street with ghost flames done in Tamiya X-23 Clear Blue. As a base coat for the main body, I used Shuttle Art Flash Black which is really a dark charcoal, and for the flames I used Chroma Molten Metals Silver. I used Lazy Modeller Generic Tribal Small flame masks, which worked very well. The interior is done in a custom mix of blue craft paints with embossing powder for the carpet. The shifter is from Kamikaze 3D on eBay. The engine is mostly from the kit with an extra intake manifold, carburetor, and air cleaner from an Iceman Collections engine and the headers are from him also. The mufflers are scratch built and the pipes are 1/8" aluminum tubing. The tires are from the kit, but the wheels are custom made using MAD Modeling Pro Stars and the kit wheel rings, and were painted with Molotow Chrome. This was a pretty good kit and was fun to build with the only issues being self-inflicted. Thanks for looking!!

G’day Craig. Yep, that looks sweet as. The flame job is beautifully executed, subtle, as ghost flames should be. All round, a top looking Chevelle. ??

The body color is charcoal black? looks metallic blue. Was the method to spray black then the clear blue over that which made it metallic blue?

Well done Craig, those ghost flames look great. Your build has given me alot of inspiration for when I build mine. 

Cheers,

Yes, that was the method. I should have made that more clear in the description.

Hi Craig! Always like your builds sir. The ghost flames are very well done, and look stunning. Good choice on the wheel swap.
