another '41 Willys

[JayVee]

Here's a Willys that I've been working on for a while, so I thought I share some progress pics. It's painted bright orange, and the flames are a combination of chrome yellow, clear orange, white, and clear yellow. The wheels are from Aoshima and the centers are painted in light gunmetal with dullcote, with Pegasus sleeves on the rears. Thanks for checking out the progress!

Later,

Thanks, the sleeves are used to turn 19" rims into 23", available from Pegasus Hobbies and PSF Hobbies online.

Thanks! The best explanation of how to paint true fire is Mike Lavallee's "Secrets of True Fire" DVD. It's available on the Killer Paint website and new and used copies are usually for sale on eBay. There are writeups on some of the airbrush forums, too. The key to doing it in a small scale is to get the finest tip available for your airbrush. Based on my experience and seeing other people's progress, it takes a couple of weeks of practice to get the feel for it.
