Real nice.I like the color on that one.To respond to the question about wide whites,you use Tamiya Flat White.Go buy a stencil with all the circle cutouts and find the one you want to use ,set it over the tire and air brush the paint on.You can use Lacquer thinner to wipe away the over spray.Or you can use a liquid mask and peel it away after the paint dries.Or if you have a steady hand you can brush the paint on,air brushing works the best in my opinion.Hope this helps ya.

The wide whites i did by hand with a pen called Painter from the craft section at wally world.

THanks for all the comments on this build! i am just happy to have her back. i did have to put some pieces back on cause the post office nocked some things off.

I like this. My dad has a 36 chevy with a 331 Hemi in it. I need to build a model of it.

As for the Whitewall slicks, I have only made 1 set, but I used the hollow slicks (some are solid) and just cut out the side. I then placed a whitewall insert (from the Revell 40 ford kit) into the hole.

Too much to do, too little time to do it.

If you see my car on a trailer, it is either stolen or it's now somebody else's problem.

Do you look cool doing it? Does it attract the girls?--If the answer to either of those is no, then you shouldn't be doing it.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5
