Yea, I am not finding a lot of flash, but, the area it is connected to the tree seems to be extra heavy on plastic.

I am hoping tomorrow or Thursday. Been hectic here the last couple days.

So, another update. This is the undercarriage. I picked up some acrylic paints at Michaels the other day, saw one called gunmetal, thought that would work great for the parts I don't want flat black underneath the car.

First, this is my new, fancy paint booth, where I sprayed the parts a flat black primer.

These are the rims and tries I will be using. They are box stock, but, I really like them for this kit. Not sure how I want to finish them, leave them chrome or see if I can't get a transparent red on them.

The body really looks pretty good flat black. I am trying to decide how I want to do the red/black colors. These colors will go inside, as well.

I am trying to get the engine block to be ford blue. I think I have the right tone of blue, or at least close enough.

Here is the rear, painted gunmetal, glued in.

looking good there Fletch. looks way better flat black than it would in pink. in that first pic I first though you painted it with some type of smoke chrome paint. must have taken the picture just after you sprayed the primer.

Actually, That may be a part of it, but, I also put the LED light in the box and took the picture with my old phone, which always messes up the picture.
I am going to leave the majority of the car flat black, I just taped of the area I am going to spray flat red, so, as soon as my compressor and air sprayer are hooked up and ready, i will be slinging some paint.
I have to check out Kit's article on airbrushing with acrylics again. He had a great article, i just need to re-read it.
