kruleworld Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 This is the revell 48 ford convertable kit. i've recessed the rear license plate and removed the front bumper (including valance). decals are actually Bare Metal Foil which was a painful exercise to apply. i finally got around to doing the red pinstriping by hand. i also did a before version (i call 'greasy lightning'). it suffered damage from a leaking can of paint stripper, which melted the body into two halves. doors had to be replaced so i made new ones with aluminium. rust and dirt is painted weathering to finish it off.

Ramfins59 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Pretty cool looking model. I'll bet that, as you said, the BMF was a pain to apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan S. Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Great, now I've got the song stuck in my head... Nice work on both of them. The foil-bolts look really good, but like they would have been a pain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
