Really nice looking paint job.

Thanks John

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

I found this kit challenging. Your paint job turned out nice! The interior is perfect! I also like the weathered version! You can check out my build on DMG Scale Models.

[@oldmantech5399]

Thanks DMG. It was challenging. Would have been happier if they supplied a brake booster and master cylinder to fill up that empty space.

[@johnclemans7802]

Will do 😎

[@johnclemans7802]

👍 Nicely done and detailed!👍😎

That Is Bad A$$ SIR

Thanks Hoyt

[@mikethebike2456]

🏍️ No glosscoat at all ?

[@oldmantech5399]

Nope. Just Createx Wicked Colors acrylic.

[@TI4438]

Any problems with the interior fit? Mine was a bit warped to begin with. After over an hour of jerking around with it, I decided to ditch the interior and black out the windows. Just couldn't get the intetior/chassis/body to mate up correctly.

[@oldmantech5399]

Yeh, that's a pisser when that happens, considering you had a beautiful interior. I believe I did have an issue. If I remember correctly, the tub was like a teeter-totter on the chassis. My solution was to use a rotary tool with sanding drum and hog-out a lot of material on the chassis tunnel and also on the bottom of the tub where they meet, with a lot of hand sanding. Thanks for the question.

[@TI4438]

@@oldmantech5399 teeter-totter would be an accurate description. Thanks.

[@TI4438]

@@oldmantech5399 FYI, a short vid of the finished kit is up. Thanks again.

[@genemanno1533]

Did you film the chrome foil application. No experience with it at all would be a worth while education. Used the chrome pen ….more of a mess than not.

[@oldmantech5399]

I did not film the application due to so many other videos available, showing how to do so. That is how I learned, watching a ton of videos. Yes, using the chrome pen can be a messy and nerve-racking experience. Thanks for the comment Gene.

[@robertmcfarland6494]

What type of paint was that

[@oldmantech5399]

Wicked Colors by Createx. 0304 Wicked Pearl Blue and 0351 Wicked Silver Water-Based acrylic.

[@jimsmodelcargarage3196]
