mrmike Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Since I have the '10 GT Convertible almost done, I decided to take the leftover parts from the snap kit and add them to the remains of the GT Coupe kit. The GT Coupe will be a curbside...no engine. The paint is Model Master Citrus Yellow Metallic No. 28101. The body has been painted and will be clearcoated with Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear and polished after decals have been applied. More to come...
mrmike Posted April 9, 2012 Author Posted April 9, 2012 More progress on the GT Coupe. I detail painted the chassis. The body has been clearcoated, polished, and decaled. More to come...
futurattraction Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 That's looking really, really nice, Mike. The paint looks super and your chassis detailing is excellent!
mrmike Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Thanks guys! I wasn't so keen on the color until i clearcoated it...boy what a difference that made! The stripes really add to the color and once I get the trim painted, it should look outstanding.
mrmike Posted April 14, 2012 Author Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks John! It means a lot to me when I hear from the master builders and it inspires me to try better! This morning I did a mockup of the chassis with the body, wheels, tires, brakes, and metal axles to see how it sits. In my eyes, it is sitting right where it should. Not too high or too low. I painted the interior floor pan with flat black paint. I recently bought some embossing power to try as carpet. The rest of the interior pieces where painted with satin black. More to come...
wraith Posted April 14, 2012 Posted April 14, 2012 Looking good Mike! I do't know why but when I look at your last mock up pic it just screams to me V6 powered! lol!
mrmike Posted April 14, 2012 Author Posted April 14, 2012 Yeah, that could be due to the lack of exterior badging and the fact that I haven't finished working on the body yet. If I had taken the picture at a little higher angle, you would have seen the GT stripes on the hood roof and rear deck. That might scream GT V-8!!
Dirkpitt289 Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 That is really coming along nicely Mike. Fantastic and inspirational work
Modlbldr Posted April 15, 2012 Posted April 15, 2012 Wow Mike. Gonna have to get some of that Citrus Yellow. I never would have guessed from the stripe on the can that it would be that shade of green. Just what I'm looking for. Your build is looking good too. Later-
mrmike Posted April 21, 2012 Author Posted April 21, 2012 Thanks Dirk and Tom! I haven't had much of a chance to work on the GT Coupe this week, but the weekend is here and the forecast is calling for rain. I won't be doing much work outside this weekend!
mrmike Posted April 23, 2012 Author Posted April 23, 2012 My '10 Mustang GT Coupe is finished and posted in Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who took the time to view and to comment on my WIP.
