Big John - Do Over

[6bblbird]

I built this car many years ago when the kit was first issued. I never was happy with the paint (too dark) . I must have used gold as a base coat.

Not bad but it didn't match the real car and that bothered me.

I decided that a repaint was in order! 

Tamiya clear red over a silver base coat along with some new Slixx decals.

Nice color. Only took me about twenty years to correct it!😀

Came out GREAT! I saw a tribute of this car at SEMA 2022 done for the Quarter Mile Foundation, and your color/stance/decal work seem spot on.

Love it! Do you remember what you used to paint the rear wheels. That’s a very convincing Dow 7 coating look.

Gorgeous! Nicely done, I can’t think of a cooler car than this. Looks great 👍
