'32 Ford Vicky

I had built this a while back, but never had posted it. The kit was incomplete so I had to improvise on some of it. Paint is black enamel and Max Factor Raisin Perle nailpolish:

I've always loved the old AMT '32s. Nice job on a stock build. What color is that, I like it?

[Scottnkat]

The black is Krylon gloss black enamel. The reddish brown color is Max Factor Raisin Perle nailpolish

Nice! How do you apply nail polish? I've never tried it, do you thin it down and apply it with an airbrush or brush it on or what? I've always wondered.

Looks good. It is nice to see kits built up stock once in a while.

I thinned the nailpolish with 2 parts nailpolish to 1 part lacquer. Then I just sprayed it through the airbrush.

Thanks guys!

You're one of a small group of modelers who've discovered the wide range of colors available in nail polishes. Unlike hobby or touch-up paints, you can find interesting nail polish colors virtually everywhere. I like the color combination you came up with, but I'm curious what prompted the folks at Max Factor to call it "Raisin Perle".

......Thank you, I've went as far as purchasing nail polish in the past but, didn't know what to do with it. I assume any lacquer thinner will work, I will give it a try!
