Your Super Bee looks great, Anthony. I have the MPC reissue 1970 Super Bee. B)

Finally finished with my 69' Super Bee! Here is what I did to it, color is Dupli-color Electric currant red. I added flocking, floor mats, seat belts, and real wood to the dash. Engine got a oil dipstick, brake lines, heater hoses, and battery cables. I am glad to be done with this 1984 kit, the decals were in poor shape and the parts all need to be sanded and heated back to shape. I think my next Super Bee is going to be the reissue of this kit. Thanks for all the great comments along the way of this build, it was fun.

That looks GREAT!!

Love the color on it!

So the fingernail polish didnt go so well... <_< but, I went to plan B and well this is about 2 coats of standard testors run through an airbrush.This is my first gloss job with the air brush and I think it can out ok.I think itll get about 2 more coats and then some clear.Thoughts?Oh and while at my buddies house painting I was diggin through the grave yard and found this old pavment pounder...same model just older, and beatup, and not so complete.P1060817.jpg

Well I got some more work done on the hood, just got it bondo in some, I did make the cowel a little smaller but I kinda liked it the way it was, I still have to add the trim that runs down the midle of the hood.
