smellyfatdude Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Got the Bronco kit yesterday, at the lhs. I'm thinking day two, open top, Testors One Coat Icy Blue, no stripe and black interior. The Melrose Missile came from my favorite epay seller. No race car here, however. Going to do a (mostly) facory stock looking "what if" Hemi street machine. Edited December 23, 2016 by smellyfatdude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) Nearly got them for Christmas, but I've had to pay a customs charge this morning, so I won't get them until Wednesday, but there's two of these sitting at the local post office for me Edited December 23, 2016 by GeeBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I got one of these as a junkyard,was after the fleetside box,grill and chassis-plate. Also got a very cheap Hasegawa Honda Civic SIR 1,6 vtec to use with ZoomOn trans-kit. Other small stuff as styrene sheets,and heard a lot of good about the Tamiya liquid cement,so got one of those. Oh,and a 63 Bonneville rear grill insert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Got a few things this week. Got my second 66 Bronco. What a great looking kit. Can't wait to start on one. http:// I bought a Molotow 2mm Liquid Chrome paint pen off of Amazon. Going to have to get a 1mm one now. http:// http:// Here is what the results of the paint looks like. I painted the broken end and top of the broken valve cover. Absolutely matches the kit chrome on the other valve cover. http:// http:// I also picked up this little 1/32 scale guy for $2.50. Not sure what I'll do with it but I couldn't leave it behind. http:// http:// Anybody have a chassis and wheels for this? Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely matches the kit chrome on the other valve cover. VERY impressive. Did you put a black base coat on it? I'm going to have to try one.

Modlbldr Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 No base coat on it. The broken end is painted over the bare white styrene and the top is painted over the old kit chrome plating.Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drball Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I have all three size markers. Folks this is a game changer as a modeling aid. It is more reflective than anything I have ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Santa brought me a Revell '68 Mustang. It has the parts to build it into a Super Stock car so I think that's what I'll be doing. For some reason my kit has two complete interiors, the second one is in a separate plastic bag and there's a paper that says "'68 Mustang Replacement Parts"... Did Revell make a failure with it or something...? It doesn't matter me, but never seen that happening before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revell pretended that they didn't know, but would ship replacement parts if you complained loudly enough. The pattern on the rear seat is still wrong even with the replacement parts.

W-409 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Oh, that explains it, thanks! Luckily I'm not so big Ford fan that I can live with the wrong upholstery pattern so I don't have to fix it. That will be a fun one to build...

lordairgtar Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Those Molotow pens are pretty expensive.Not really. A set of three different sizes will set you back about 27 bux from ArtPrimo.com, and a little extra fer shipping. Best chrome finish out. No under coat, is pretty durable to. Just don't rub on it as it will dull. Has anyone clear coated this yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
