A pair of '06 Mustangs

did you use cobra colors for the base coat/primer? I'm looking for a commercially available primer/sealer to pick up at a paint store...I've been trying to find veriprime. but no luck. I'm going to the paint store to talk to them tomorrow. and see what I can do about a PPG primer/sealer........if nothing comes of it. i'm going to order some moon mud from leon.

white97ex, I used Variprime under the Legend Lime body and Tamiya primer under the red body, and they both worked fine. I tried Cobra Colors VX primer on the Revell Corvette C6, also soft plastic, and it worked well too.

Leon reformulated Moon Mud since I got mine, so it should work okay w/o crazing. However, I don't trust this new Revell plastic and would use a sealer anyway if I'm shooting any automotive paint. Variprime is unnecessary since the discovery that Zinsser B-I-N Shellac-Base primer/sealer/stain killer works perfectly as a sealer (it's also much cheaper, much easier to find, and far less toxic to your body). You can pick up a big can of it at Home Depot or Lowes. It sprays awfully from the can; transfer it to an airbrush (or buy the quart can and appropriate thinner while at Home Depot/Lowes) and it sprays nicely. You must apply some lacquer primer to the raw plastic first BEFORE applying the Zinsser B-I-N; it doesn't stick well to plastic but sticks just fine to other paint. After applying B-I-N you can easily wetsand it and apply more automotive primer and color coats.

Those are great!!

[WasteGas]

Lovely I gotta check out my LHS if they carry it already.

[Feint Motion]

Hot! Hot! Hot!

[Jmich]

Both of those are looking great! Good job.

If I can ever find one of these kits I'll be building one to match my wifes 1:1 (in Legend Lime Metallic). Legend Lime really suits these cars. I didn't think I'd like it until we walked up to it on the lot. Hers isn't a GT so I'll need to do a few modifications I suppose.

Great build !

[digitalbanzai]

Cool builds!

Really nice.

I really start to love this model. I'm not really a US car fan but for sure I will buy this kit.

[sideshowscrappy]

I have got to find this kit. so far none of my LHS have it in stock yet, but they better get it soon, lol. anyway those are both lookin great, but that legend lime is gonna look hot!!!!! Great job.............*Ryan*

Hi! I finished the legend lime model.

[blubaja]

Absolutely beautiful!!! I love the green and the torq thrusts!! Perfect!! I wish revell would learn from the japanese companies, and make more then 1 version of the kits. Or at least include parts for different trim levels. Keep up the gereat work!

Both look superb! Any pictures of both of them in one shot?
