mustang1989 Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Thanks Kevin. Well gang....progress at last. I've been hard at work on this bad boy and have not posted anything due to trying to hit the bench a little harder. Here she is in the primer stage: and after I let that all dry out I hit it with color (Tamiya Pure Red dispensed from the can and shot through the AB) the next day. Didn't have to do ANY sanding to the primer coat. A couple of mock ups once the color coat had dried....couldn't help myself but to do this but have to admit that Mavericks look a little out of the ordinary in red: Was able to tuck the rear tires a little further inward as well. Also need to work on raising the front of the car some and bringing those front tires outward a bit. I'll get there.....

LSP_K2 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Looks excellent, Joe. One of these days you'll need to walk me through the process of airbrushing paints that are from a can, assuming you'd be willing to do so. Over the next few years I'll undoubtedly be needing to do the same with some of my own car models, specifically my old Switchers '32 Ford Phaeton. mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll cover it with you a little later on either this evening or first thing in the morning bud. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like you did once already, but I'll be darned if I can find it. mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Oh, I like the red! My favorite color, though I've never had a red car myself. Keep on, keeping on, Joe! Gaz mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 Thanks fellas! Man.....I really goofed not looking at my references well enough beforehand. I've been pondering over the course of the last few days how to best approach painting that white roof and I think I've got it figured out now. In any case I trudged ahead with some decals. Here's where we're at now with the 3rd Mock Up: Greg W and Rockie Yarwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 looks great, proper stance mustang1989 and LSP_K2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Thanks Shawn. It sure took a lot of work to get it there. Ok gang....the first of the corrections has been accomplished. Where I cut the decals to fit what I thought was a little bit better and turned out being too much above the wheel openings has now been corrected. I've gotta touch up the interior headlining a little bit now but that's small stuff. The more I looked at this the more it bugged me. I had the Penzoil decal lift on me during the mask off process but this has since been replaced. Before...paying close attention to the white area above the wheel openings... And after the corrections....Next up....the roof. Edited March 6, 2020 by mustang1989 Greg W, Rockie Yarwood, LSP_K2 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 It's probably just the photo, but the orange looks very much like the red to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Loving the work going into this build! The stance looks perfect, need a low angle 3/4 view with a racetrack background and it won’t be distinguishable from the real deal mustang1989 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
