So hopefully I'll be able to move forward with this one next week Edited February 27 by gtx6970 6
gtx6970 Posted February 28 Author Posted February 28 Engine and interior are done. Waiting on decals to finish the body 2
gtx6970 Posted March 13 Author Posted March 13 (edited) The Blue is too dark I think. It's tamiya TS51 I believe It has maybe 3 light coats over the silver I'll look this weekend and if i fid a lighter blue .....ill maybe tape it back up respray the blue The Dart is all decals btw Edited March 13 by gtx6970 6
Carmak Posted March 14 Posted March 14 I just did a quick on-line review of period color pictures of the Landy Coronet, and the dark blue looks good.
gtx6970 Posted March 14 Author Posted March 14 Well. Decision made. I couldn't live with it Plus I want to widen the hood stripes So....Taped It back up. And will Reshoot it later today. 1
gtx6970 Posted March 14 Author Posted March 14 (edited) Well, Today was an experimental day After some spoons color tests. with various Blues. I sprayed out the TS54 ( on the left ) and it was far too light....SO,,,,, I tried it directly over the darker TS51 on a spoon test ( on the right ) And . BINGO,,,,Its not a huge changed from straight TS54, But just enough I think It nailed the color I was after Edited March 14 by gtx6970 6
M W Elky Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I agree they were way to dark the color change looks right on
M W Elky Posted March 21 Posted March 21 I really think you’re going to need to complete this landy collection and build the hauler truck 4
Hmann68 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Looking great! Man I don’t think there’s anything cooler than Landys cars, especially the 68’s 👍

A few make the right era,,,,,,, but all are half ton trucks I recently bought a decal sheet for the stripes. And they all but disappear on the body they are so thin. So , unfortunately this one is going back in the box until better decals become avail or I get up the nerve to paint them on

As for the truck bodies we’ll have to keep our eyes out for a 3-d printed version. The big job dodge trucks of this era are a big missing link . I would like to build the Sox & Martin hauler along with snake & mongoose haulers. I would think that the snake & mongoose haulers would sell very well and warrant the cost of new tooling. They could also be used for the NASCAR contingent ie : petty
