hguenth2003 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 After receiving such a warm welcome as I presented my first model in this thread I decided to present my second one. The model kit is the Trumpeter Falcon Sprint of 1964: The kit went together very well. Only the chrome of the bumpers had some flaws. So I decided to de-chrome them, gave them a shot with Testors enamel glossy black and applied Alclad Chrome. I followed the first time the 'Donn Yost' method for airbrushing this model and I have to say that Donn made my day It came out without any orange peel and there was absolutely no need for any clear coat. Only two or three dust particles had to be polished out. The color choice was Testor's bright yellow. I replaced the kit's wheels with wheels from Scale Production and added some disc brakes. The front was lowered so that a horizontal stance could be achieved. Cheers Harald
Phildaupho Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Excellent looking Falcon. It is on my list of models to build in 2013 to complete aTrumpter Falcon. Hope it turns out as well as yours.
Guest Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Stunning. I sure wish this kit had a correct f/s chassis.
Johan020 Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 Beautiful build and super nice looking panel lines
crazyjim Posted January 6, 2013 Posted January 6, 2013 I don't care for the wheels but what a gorgeous model. SHINY :) RULES!
Darbo Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Fantastic build!, that yellow paint looks awesome!
Harry P. Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Wow! What a great looking model. Very nicely done. Your foil work on those thin side spear trim borders is amazing! No doubt that is the best '64 Falcon model I have ever seen.
THarrison351 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Great looking Falcon. I need to get one while they're still around.
1fine89 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 what a winner! great job, and the wheels really suit it!
surfjunke Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Beautiful build! Love the finish & the details. The wheels are cool, but would look cooler if you painted them the body color. Love this Falcon!
TooOld Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Absolutely beautiful ! ! Your work is super clean and the detailing is great ! Nicest one I've seen .
Grumpa Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Wow...this is fantastic Harald! It's got a great "Resto Mod" look to it! The engine bay detail is awesome! Nice build.
