Kurtis Kraft 500C

really simple easy to build kit it was originally issued in 1956, but thats just not my style to leave a car stock

first thing was wheels

then i realized they both look good so im going to make the wheels removeable after i update them

paint is tamiya flat black wheel is aclad magnesium both cleared with vallejo flat clear.

seat didnt look "cool" enough


next was the engine found out the 1:1 is just as simple

did my best and cleaning the seams still have to drill it out for wiring


heres how it sits i opened the grill to run a more updated mesh grill, i CA'd the body together and sanded it the cowl needs some work but its ready for paint im gonna go with testors metalflake red and silver scallops.

my worst nightmare testors on testors violence. it was some light crazing all over the body i managed to work some of it out but not before hitting a 9

since that episode ive decided to use Vallejo flat clear as a barrier for ALL my paintjobs, it worked great as a barrier primer for red bodies and it did great on another build before this.

here it is post disaster, decided to use urethane the second time around

It sucks to see that happen!
Keep it up.
Such a fun looking build!
