The ones I'm using here are resin pieces from Arrowhead, but good luck getting them. Your other options are to make them from Styrene rod, or go with the aluminum brake kits MAS sells.....
On to the update!! We have paint!!
After masking off all the inside gray areas, all body parts were shot with Tamiya TS23 over gray primer.
Once the lt. blue had dried a bit, I began masking it up for the middle shade of blue. After it was all masked, I mixed up a batch of Tamiya TS44, with a little Mica Blue added in to darken it a bit.
With the mid blue shot, the masking was removed, and I was ready to start masking for the final and darkest blue.
The dark areas were shot with Tamiya TS51. Once it was dry, and the masking was removed, I added the splatter straight from the can using both the TS23 and TS51. Now it's ready for underlay decals.
I drew up the art for the majority of the decals in Illustrator 8, and printed out the underlays and graphics on my Alps printer. I did two layers of white, to make sure there would be zero bleed through.
Once those were good and dry, I began adding the main Mopar decals....
A few more small decals need to be added and it will be ready for clear. Then once polished, I can add the remaining decals that I didn't want cleared over.
Thanks for looking!
