sflam123 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 While I was fighting with the decals for the "Trojan Horse" I built the re-released MPC 'the young American" FED. There has been a fair amount of negative comments about this kit, and while there were some aspects of it that were difficult and frustrating, overall I thought the kit was a little above average. The body is painted with Testor's Pearl White and the frame is painted with Testor's Sapphire Blue. The front wheels were brush painted with Ruby Red Metalflake. Color pictures of the car are somewhat difficult to come by on the internet, but those I did find showed the car had a rather unique gold colored blower and timing cover plate, so I attempted to replicate the color with a mix of lime gold and champaign gold. Unfortunately, it doesn't show up very well on the pictures. I took one picture of the car with the front body panels off just because. Thanks for looking! Comments welcome.

oldscool Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think you did a great job. I built one of these when I was a kid and it was a real bugger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
