The white is done. I will be using real car paint this time. So the primer is enough for the white. I don`t like this type of paint because it will take a heavy coat of varnish on top giving a unreal look to the model. Any way I will try to avoid the «bubble» effect or «glass» look.
Blue is done
Lets move to the red
Red is done
Ready for a gloss coat. How many will be needed ? I realy don`t now.
After a generous amount of gloss varnish it ended like this. I`m not a fan of «glass» finish models or bubble finish because they look very unreal.Anyway this one will be a mixed finish. Still a lot of details to paint and then the decals on top of finished body and at the end wax all over them.
Big vinyl Ford sticker at the front. There is nothing above it
Stickers don`t relect the light the same way the body does
Still some retouches to be done
Moving to the Decals......
The diferences with the real car are so many that I just quit trying to replicate the original. A lot of details should had been corrected at the begining and some of them I only noticed now.?
Decals are almost done. I already fixed the body. Front and rear lights, rear view mirrors and aileron are still to be finished and fixed. Also a lot of retouches.

That cockpit and engine look stunning. The painting of the body looks complicated?

Martin and Jonn the interior is all out of the box. Nothing aded. Only changes made until now are the white stripes of plastic to help the fit of the body and the lower side of the doors. These parts come on the rear body and were cutted out and glued on the doors otherwise when joining the body you get big gap on the doors . Any way a joint line between the doors and the bottom will be noticed. Regardind the painting yes is complicated mainly because it is dificult to paint the inner sides of the rear wheels cover.

After finding that the car at the end was going to be a look like I lost the feeling for it . It´s finnished but I`m not happy. Better models will come. I hope

For many reasons I don't remenber now I promissed my self I would never say revell kits are bad or even worse than that. I believe those are the reasons I keep buying them. So , having this one in hands I decided to go on with it. Two years have passed and still on the workbench. Has promissed I don't say anything more.
