Geddit? Like 'Orange Juice". Ah, forget it. Anyway, this is a Revell 32 Highboy that I put together for the Ford CBP on AutoModelling.com. It's almost box stock, with the exception of some engine parts that I got from Hiroboy - aftermarket distributor, air cleaner etc.    I mixed up the colour myself, with various Tamiya acrylic pots, followe dby 2 coats of acrylic clear airbrushed on. Here's a better shot of that, so you can see a little of the flake in it:  I think I inadvertantly made almost a pearl type colour, but not. See, inside, right now, it looks red and like terracotta - but outside in the sun it looked almost yellow and a tonne brighter. Prefer the 'outside look' definately. Thanks for looking fellas! |

thanks a lot guys, appreciate the nice words.
Duck, this is only my 4th finished build dude (although admittedly I've got about 20 on the go, I'm just not very good at finishing them!), I'm sure you have the skills to do the same, maybe just not the tools. The paint was done first with a coat of Tamiya primer, then 3 coats of Tamiya acrylic colour airbrushed on, followed by Tamiya clear in 2 coats. I let it dry out a week then used a polishing kit to smooth out the paint as directed. Nothing to it, just took a little time and care.
As for the detailed parts, everything was just glued on in place of the regular parts, with the exception of the wiring on the engine which needed holes drilling first in the block, and then the wires were threaded in carefully from there.
I'll be happy to help you out though dude, if you need it - though I'm sure everyone else here will be happy to offer advise too.
