Thanks for the feedback Jim.  The craft paints are pretty good and easy to clean up.

Great job with the paint.Toast

I use a lot of various makes of craft paints. My wife clued me in to them at Joanne Fabrics. I use Vallejo Model air and Model Color for military colors. If I happen to be with my wife at Joanne Fabrics, I'll spend the time looking through their shelves of paint. A couple of times they had them on sale 3 for $1.00. I've got a whole desk drawer full of their paints. There is some military colors on their shelves but it takes a while looking through all the brands they have to find them.

Great looking truck!  I like that you used craft paint and your finish looks excellent.  I find that a lot of modelers tend to ignore the craft paints.

This is the AMT 1955 Chevrolet Cameo Pickup Truck that I painted last year. This is a stock build except for the wired distributor. The paint is Anita's Cafe Au Lait acrylic paint and it was cleared with Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear Lacquer.  This kit had some fit issues and despite everything I read about the glass not fitting the body, mine seem to fit just fine.
