Built from a 1974 Monogram kit I had in my stash forever. Added a few parts to turn it into a hot rod. Slicks and rims are from the boot hill express kit, front axle, front tires and rims are from the parts box.The engine is a parts pack 354 caddy. Paint is Tamiya orange and cleared with wet look. Thanks for lookin'Beautiful work.....love the paint job. Painting is still a challenge for me especially a high gloss finish - even after polishing with Novus 1 and 2. I know Tamiya rattle cans make a nice finish out of the can, just curious if you airbrushed the Tamiya orange, and is the clear gloss the old Testors "wet look" for their two part lacquer? |

Thanks bud! I decant all my paints for airbrushing even the Testors wet look clear. Airbrushing gives you more control over how much paint goes on the model. |
