Doctordarryl Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 I have not posted any midget builds in awhile. Here are builds #11 and 12. Since I make 21 decal sets, I have quite a way to go to build kits with all my decals. However, it is a moving target as I will likely bring out several more midget decal sets later this year. Oh well. I am so glad that Revell brought out his fantastic pair of kits - the Offy and V8 60 Kurtis Kraft midgets. It sure helped my decal business!!!! The Bowes Seal Fast Jr. Offy midget was sprayed with Tamiya Fine White Surface Primer and then airbrushed with Tamiya Pure White. The nose and scalops were airbrushed with Tamiya Gloss Black. The body and hood were airbrushed with Tamiya Clear after applying the decals. The side nerf bars were modified to add tire deflectors by adding 0.02 inch diameter styrene rod. The front nerf bar was modified with the letter M since Rex Mays owned this car. All chrome parts were redone with Alclad II Chrome over Model Master Gloss Black. The engine is fully wired and plumbed. The hood was hinged with 1mm OD brass tubing and 0.02 inch brass wire. The Walter Pew Offy midget was airbrushed with Tamiya Gloss Black over Tamiya Fine White Primer. They were airbrushed with Tamiya Clear after applying the decals. The front and side nerf bars were modified with 0.02 inch styrene rod. All chrome parts were redone with Alclad II Chrome over Model Master Gloss Black. The hood was hinged with brass tube and wire. The engine was plumbed and wired. One club I belong to (NJIPMS) did a group build of the Revell Offy midget. I supplied free decals to all group build participants and there was a great turn out. Hopefully we will be able to display the group builds at MosquitoCon next April (2014).
