51 Chevy Fleetline

[Guest]

AMT's old 51 fleetline.notice the firewall, that is the orginal color of the paint. I cleared everything else with testors clear. Do not use it over light or pastel colors, it will yellow.

Very nice, the interior detail and chassis weathering are excellent!

That looks really nice MP. You picked a fitting color for it too.

One small nitpick if I may - it doesn't look like the body is all the way down on the chassis to me. There shouldn't be gaps between the bumper mounts and body.

Very nice job.

Looks great.

Can ask what you used for the fuel filter?

It looks like an electronics resistor. I've used them, too, for in-line fuel filters, but I've usually painted the bodies silver to represent the typical over-the-counter fuel filter and to reduce the Radio Shack look.

Nice build.

Wow! Nice job...

Another beauty, Lee!

Yeah- I've kept clear of Testors Gloss clear enamel for years now. Looks really 'great' on a white car.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.Yeah, there were a couple of alignment issues, but I didnt want to risk breaking stuff to fix it. Lazy I guess, lol. Yes, the fuel filter is a resistor. you can paint them silver to simulate metal filters as well.

Ok Thanks, I have a few but wasn't sure what they actually were, I think I stole them from a broken radio.
