the set I got were the 1/4 fl. oz. bottles. they're the type I grew up using on the plastic models I used to build. where I grew up.... we didn't have much of a choice. We either used 1/4 oz Testors ..... or house paint. I haven't experiment with the different brands of paint to see if I like...

the paints that I used were Testors. I used: gold, Aluminium, and flat black. For most of the car I used the Aluminium paint. I used about 1/2 the bottle. The "brown" for the steering wheel I mixed the Tan, flat black, and a little red, because the paint set I bough did not have brown. The...

Complete! I finished the car last night. Z, it only had the one body panel. this model was meant to show the everything that the body covered..... almost like a cutaway.

Next update: got the seat, steering wheel, and the only body panel included, mounted. sorry about the blurry first photo.... got buzzed by a Wasp just as I snapped the photo.

I use a respirator when I need to use CA glue, due to allergies. Next Update: wheels complete. Decided not to paint them because of tread and brand name on sidewall. Instrument panel installed, side frame rails installed, seat made, and rear fuel tank frame work started. The fuel mileage must...

Thank you everyone :biggrin: Next update: I got the break hubs done and installed. my normal glue was not holding... so I had to use ca glue... downside is I'll have to go back and retouch the paint before I mount the wheels on.

of the original movie Ties .... this is the only one I have not built. You are doing an awesome job with this one

I found a problem. I think that the parts circled in red should be mounted higher on the frame. when I mounted the torsion bars they forced this part upward almost to the point that the part wants to separate from the frame.

Next Update: suspension installed. Note: the "blue" photos were taken after 5:00 pm, these were taken around 10:00 am. and no "blue".

Next update: getting ready to make the suspension. part of the exhaust done.

Next update: engine installed, radiator attached, a few other odds and ends added to :biggrin:

Thank you everyone. I have really had a lot of fun building these cars and am very glade that you like the results.

Next update: my internet has been out for a few days and I just got it back. Had a bad thunderstorm with 80mph winds come through and ripped the Cable tv lines away from the house, and poles. Got the engine complete for this update :)

I started this model last week and looking at the photos that the author has of this model.... I can see that he painted it. So, I went and got some paints. I plan on painting the parts as I finish them, though, by necessity some parts will not be painted.

my next model build the "bare bones" Alfa.

That, Sir, is a beautiful model. now you need to build another and drop into a car :biggrin:

Thank you. :) Thank You Z for talking me into the white wheels on the other ford. They really "Pop" on this one. :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

On 14Apr21 I received my first dose of radiation. and am now out of radiation quarantine. I can now use the computer and phone as I normally do. I was not allowed to use them in quarantine to keep from making them "hot" with radiation. My next dose won't be until July. ;) and yes, I checked to...

thank you
