Ira Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 Returning to the classics Ira!!!! The first article that I really followed in the old model magazines was CM Moonscope 1 conversion. That started me on a trend with me to today...... Funny That's Funny Dave! I bought another Moonscope for a second kitbash later...
Ira Posted February 26, 2014 Author Posted February 26, 2014 SMOOTHING... Here is the underside of the body, after a little sanding. Then I applied Squadron White Putty and dried in a dehydrator for a while. A little more Sanding and it is ready for the Screen. More Coming...
1930fordpickup Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 Ira this looking great like all your other stuff. Just wondering were you found that spatula for spreading the filler? Please do not tell me you have had this for years. LOL It looks like an old foundry spatula a old friend has.
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 I have seen those at Micheals they are for doing oil painting I believe. bobthehobbyguy

Johnag4004 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hi Ira, Yet again I am in awe watching your work come to life Sir, you truly are a master... Thank you for sharing this with us... Andy...
Ira Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 I'll be watching Ira! I grew up on your articles in Model Car Science! It's very nice to see you still building. Most of us "old guys" move on to other hobbies. I have moved on to the full size stuff but model cars are still a passion and I plan to get back into them. Mark Thanks for the kind words Mark! I have always enjoyed many different types of modeling...

Chuck Most Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 This may well be the best use for a Gran Turismo kit ever to take shape.
Ira Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 WHERE ARE THE PLUGS? I found a Real Nice V-8 Engine in the Revell 2006 Mustang GT Kit. The Engine looks great it is molded in 3 colors. I decided to paint the Engine over with Tamiya Silver Leaf and Model Masters Magnesium. Here is the Engine glued together. I put one coat of Vallejo Paints Brass on the Valve Covers, one more coat should be enough. I was going to add Spark Plug Lines but I haven't found were all the lines go yet. Looks like the Spark Plugs go in the indentations in the tops of the Valve Covers, but I haven't found a Distributor or Spark Box yet... Anyone know where the Spark Plug Lines Go? More Coming...
Ira Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 THis is looking great, makes me want to step out of the box. Thanks! What Box? Go For It Jason...
Ira Posted March 2, 2014 Author Posted March 2, 2014 hopping right along so far Ira! Thanks for the Great Frog Photos Dave!
GerN Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Your guess is correct wrt the plugs. Google 2006 Mustang V8.
