CRAZY HORSE STANG
Posted by tiki kat on Monday, June 1, 2009 8:13 AM

This is my first picture post on this forum, so forgive me if it doesn't come off right.  This is a build I did after viewing the American Hot Rod series a few years ago.  It is the Revell Anniversary  Edition Mustang, with few twists.

 

 

 

 

I used Tamiya spray lacquers for the base color and stripes, wet sanded everything and then clear coated the whole thing with Tamiya clear lacque, again from the rattle can.  I swapped the wheels and tires for a set from the R-M '67 Chevelle, modified the Cross Boss engine from the '70 Boss 302 and added the necessary plumbing and wiring.

Bare Metal Foil on the window frames, Alclad and Metailizers on the engine parts.  I have almost switched back to rattlecans for car builds, no clean up and no mixing paints.  Remember I said "almost".

Very nice model. Looks real clean. Nice work.

 As for paint. For a few years, up to a few months ago. I worked at a custom paint shop. I had access for all pro House of Kolor and PPG Paints. Guns and a state of the art paint booth. I did some great paint jobs and now can do just as well at home. The booth is nice but really not needed to make a nice painty job. But I always did, still use and have a ton of Tamiya Spray Paints. I just love them. I also do not really care about the cost. I will pay for quality. What can I say. I just love Tamiya Spay Cans. I have never found a spry can with as good of a nossel as the Tamiya cans have.

Thanks, Matt and welcome to the Forum!  I agree with you, the Tamiya sprays are easy to use, give excellent results and maximize my modeling time, since there's no clean up.
