Hawk312 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 This one went smoothly at first, and then fought me in the end. But overall, not too many complications. I think this one is my favorite color scheme. There is just something about all the red and white. I used the wheels that I designed and cast from the L88 model. I added a period correct Pennsylvania license plate and inspection sticker on the windshield. A correct dealer window sticker was applied to the driver side window. All these were printed from actual items from the time period. This is my first white interior, and I must have put on at least 4 coats of white to cover the black and red. I just realized I forgot the air lid cover decal and the decal on the passenger side valve cover, so I owe you guys a couple pics yet. Let me know what you think!
karbuildr Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Wow. Only word I can think of to describe my reaction. Beautiful build. Looks very realistic.
1930fordpickup Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Ok I see pictures of a real car now where are the model pictures? Man this is very nice.
72 Charger Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Excuse me while I wipe the drool off the screen That's fantastic
Stray Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 What is this sorcery? Stop this nonsense right now! That thing is just beautiful dude.
Hawk312 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks everyone! At some points, because of the similarities, I thought I was building the L-88 one again. Besides the obvious black stripe, there are subtle differences:
Kenny B Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 David, Well once again very,very nice. I think it needs.......um... or should be um.....needs um.....well how do I say this, um....It really needs to be parked in my display case. I don't want to hear any excuses from you. Well done again. Ken.
tbill Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 just beautiful, another masterpiece, incredible work yet again! p.s. I really need a set of those wheels
Guest Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Just unbelievable! Is the chrome trim inside and out BMF? If so, that is the smoothest application I have ever seen.
Hawk312 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Posted March 10, 2015 Thanks again everyone! Some of your comments made me laugh this time around. Just unbelievable! Is the chrome trim inside and out BMF? If so, that is the smoothest application I have ever seen. Thanks! The chrome trim on the seats and door panels are both BMF. The console is silver chrome paint. The window trim is all BMF.

Tonioseven Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Beautiful build!! I trust the wheels arrived safely?
58 Impala Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Beautiful job, your 1/12 builds looks real. What do you have, a lifetime supply of Revell Vette kits? lol. I have just one kit and would love to build it to the caliber of yours.
