Muncie Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Sierra Gold and Adobe Beige is the two tone. I get some of them mixed up, too Adobe Beige is a little more off-white the big list here -  1955, 1956, & 1957 Chevy Colors and Paint Codes (classicindustries.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 More details needed on that one. Is that a custom Javelin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64SS350 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) It is a rendition of the Ring Brothers Javelin. It's well done, but many areas of detailing I want to do. Edited June 11, 2021 by 64SS350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get yourself a Nailhead and you can build Ivo's first dragster, with that chassis. Or a Hemi, and you can build Snake's first dragster--which Prudhomme bought from TV.

Modlbldr Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Picked these up yesterday from the same guy that I got the last haul from a few days ago. Seems he is getting out of the hobby. 35ish kits and a few built ups, two compressors (one never unboxed) and an airbrush. Now time to sell most of it.

I'm planning on picking up a few bottles myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDO Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) A local shop had it on consignment. Original kit. Not sure if the decals are still good. Engine is partially assembled. Tires need to be replaced. It was fifty bucks. I did ask if it was marked correctly. It was. Wow! Edited June 13, 2021 by LDO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Eh? Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 $50 was a great price for sure. It is also nice to see sprues still in their original wrap. In the past, I have looked for 1/12 scale tires for Tamiya kits, and found that they are very hard to come by. Do you have any sources in mind?

Eventually I'll get around to testing it over various other paints to see how it interacts with them, what the coverage looks like, and how glossy it is before and after wet sanding/polishing. At $3.99, if it does well enough it might be a go to over the $6 and up Tamiya and Testors clears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen them on eBay several times, when looking for parts for other projects. I never bought any, though. Now that I need some, I hope I can find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did however get an issue with Rust-Olium paint reacting with it's own brand ! One color crazed when spayed with the second color. This happened to a 84 GMC pickup kit. I painted it with Rustolum gloss white which I let set a week before shooting it with a rustolium Light blue. which crazed over the complete cab/hood of that kit. So sometimes RustO paints dont react well with each other. Now this was the second time I had issued with that companies paint The other time was their gloss black and clear coat which ruined a corvette body by crazing the whole body.

cobraman Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The only problem I have had with that clear is it tends to bubble if you lay it on too close or too heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
