'55 F100 panel truck

going to start this one its a old monogram 55 F100 panel truck name Bootlegger it has gold chrome ,got a custom grille from zenrat also found a better set of rims too. still thinking on colours for it.

base colour tamiya titanium gold x-31.

Looks nice Allan - love the old panel trucks. We don't see enough of them now. As for bootlegging, well this one would hold a few gallons I'm sure!

Personally I like dark colours on curvaceous vehicles - shows up the lines better IMO. What about dark purple or grape over the titanium gold?

Keep us posted on this one - great choice mate.

Tezza43, the titanium gold was to pale so gave it a few coats of tamiya Gold leaf which is darker,got some clear red and dark blue,may mix bit of both together to get a purple colour.

Looks great Allan , I like the purpleish colour idea too though .

Purple would look nice on the old van Allan, she's got mould line issues like all older kits.

checkmate I thought it sould not have the mould line at the top of the door that goes up top roof then to the rear too but been looking at 1.1 panels truck its there only removed on some that's been Hot Rodded,going to put a clear red coat first then a clear blue coat on top,it will give me a purplish colour if I put blue down first it will go greenish colour.

here she is with a clear coat of red on her.

What a beautiful paint job Allan, looks increadible, you've set the standard for the rest of the model now mate.

wow Al that looks great

All it needs now is a transparent dark blue coat to turn it purple, then again it looks damn good in red too. Decisions, decisions!

Thank's DeeCee,Doorslammerfan,its turned out great if me do say so myself,going to stay with the candy red just going to clear coat it in a few days just know if I put the blue on it me will bugger it up

Thank's Tezza43, read above about colour.

inside photo of it,Oh showed the wife the colour outside and she said WOW and that she likes it you just know you got it right.

Gorgeous - good one Al.

Now that is an awesome colour in the sun Allen

Thank's zenrat,Adam,very happy with the out come of the colour on it.

That looks stunning. Looks like a real deep ol' skool candy job, well done (please tell me it's getting cream coloured interior!!)

You've made the right decision Allan - looks awesome in candy red.

Now - about the interior.......

thinking on white seats,tan carpet

just put a light coat of clear on body ,fingers cross it goes well.

Looking good.

Thank's mgy125,it was going Ok untill I put the clear coat on it, ,justed looked at it and the clear has dryed and pulled the paint way from the front and rear doors gaps, one can see the black plastic I can not believe its done it,the auto clear has done it. think I just pack up my models and do something else.

here is the problem,you can see the red has came off the edges showing the gold & black plastic in places too, how is the best way to fix it, strip it & repaint,

I dunno Allan , I think it makes the panel gaps look more realistic .
