bowtieboss Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Really want to build one of these hope I can do it justice yours is amazing
smellyfatdude Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 I'm surprised to see this pop up again, so I thought I'd share the scoop. I had two paint failures with this build, prior to the Pacific Blue. The first was Tamiya black, which I burned through when polishing. The second was Krylon flat Pistachio. Went on great, but then the clear coat cracked all to hell. As it turned out, Pacific Blue was the closest I had to be able to replicate this ' 53, which I found for sale online. I only wish Moebius would've included a set of those tasty wire wheels.
Bennyg Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Thanks everyone! The color is Testors Boyds Pacific Blue, and the roof is done in Krylon satin almond. Whole thing was clearcoated with Rustoleum. Very nice. I've chosen tamiya coral blue body and tamiya racing white for the roof. I hope mine turns out as nice as yours. Ben
bbowser Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Very nice. All your factory stock models are excellent!
