Yes a good break the weather along with some good heat...
So while doing the decals i pulled out the resin engine and got to painting this...It is a great looking unit and should help set this off. Started with flat black and then did the red valve covers, and now i have been playing with colours and adding some highlights with paint.
Hey Jaykay I picked it from Kevin, Contact Kevin at silvercitymodels@comcast.net not sure if they are still around but he did the Honda, Ford and Toyota.
Looks good! I also started following you on Instagram Are you going to detail the engine bay any further? i.e. radiators, plumbing, exhaust? It's nice to see all this extra detail on an otherwise curbside kit. The paint/decals also look great!
So i could not resist doing another mock up just to check on the fit and also i just like looking at the model in all its glory. Kevin Kuzman has been a great help in assisting with pointers to get the engine cover to sit better in this build. My only problem now is getting the suspension arms back on, it is almost like they have shrunk since being cut off...oh the joys of building.
So what i have done is sanded down the firewall around the top, this has allowed the fit into the tub area easier, i also grown down the back to get this to sit more snub to the sides of the tub. I also cut the tab off the back of the engine as per Kevin's comments.
So i just need to get the suspension arms back on and then a couple of decals and this will be done...
