Re: WIP: the one that got away". The story of a `70 Mustang 429 Boss

Time for some pictures right?
First of all a pic of the Boss with her cool magwheels and primer.



And here`s the grille. note that bulbs have been added ( made of clear styrene scrap ) Mustang-logo not yet detailed

And so time for slappin`on some color. I wanted Grabber blue, but i think this old "friend" , Tamiya TS 44 Brilliant Blue also works! But on the path to the perfect paint, something went slightly wrong
There are swirlpatterns in the plastic wich look like they`ve "etched" the plastic. Sanded and primered, painted color, sanded the color slightly with 3600 polishcloth, and a few layers of blue. Still swirlmarks

Will wait a few days, the start with polishcloths again, and see if it gets any better Maybe iŽll clearcoat it with Tamiya clear.

Ok, as a last treat, a during construction-pic. The molded-in brakeservo looks more like a horseshoe, so i had to whack it away and put 1,5mm styrene in its place. A servo from another kit will take it`s place.
