Dr. Cranky Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Cranky finally got "shiney" in his eyes!!!! I finally finished this build from last year . . . hope you enjoy it . . . The chassis . . . . I did a count recently and between the different metalizer paints from TESTORS, TAMIYA, and other, there must be well over 50 different metalizer colors and shades . . . plenty of choices for chassis and engines . . . The interior on this Revell kit is one of the easiest and most friendly to assemble and work with . . . The paintjob on this is House of Kolor and about five coats of clear . . . and lots of buffing . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
