2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

[mrmike]

I got this kit at the Club Meeting yesterday. This is a Snap Tite kit from Revell and I decided to go ahead and build it in spite of the other projects I have on the bench. I'm just gonna polish the body and paint the trim and the chassis details and then add the stickers. No decals with this kit. Let's see what final assembly gives me...

The interior and the chassis have been assembled and painted. The wheels were hit with a coating of Tamiya X-19 Smoke which dulled the chrome significantly.

I decided to glue the body and the bed as one for painting and ease of use. I know that many of you builders wouldn't bother, but I'm different!

What color do you have in mind Mike?

An orange to match the orange plastic.  Probably Testors Hemi Orange as I have plenty of that.

I painted the Raptor this morning. Testors (Rustoleum) Hemi Orange Lacquer. What do you think?

[slusher]

Looks great Mike!

Thanks Carl!

I've started the arduous task of masking the Raptor body for the black out treatment. It's a good thing this tape has a limited tack as I usually leave it on for about a week or so.

The Raptor is up on 4 wheels! The Hemi Orange and the Black paint look great! Now to get some Gloss Clearcoat.

[mrmike]

Ready for Gloss Clearcoat!

[mrmike]

The body has been clearcoated with Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear.

I have finished my F-150 Raptor and it is posted in Under Glass.  I would like to thank all those who have viewed and/or commented on my WIP.
