As always I have several projects going, I set aside the F-III and picked up a little goodie I am going to call a Track Car. I ordered a set of Wide Body fenders from a guy in Romania or ? and just finished putting those on now to do lots of sanding to get the look I want, then I got a 3D printed Ford 427 engine with 4 Webbers it is real nice but painting it is driving me nuts because I know what I want and being a complete engine with carbs, belts and accessories molded on presents quit a challenge, I shall overcome... I h ave a wide assortment of wheels to choose from so.... well here's the photos so far..  N    Nice 427 Engine no doubt! THIS LAST PIC IS inspiration!!more to come Chris |

Chris,
What a great project. Can't wait to see more. And that engine looks fantastic. Sure hard to believe it's all one piece.
BTW, the F-111 is a jet aircraft or am I completely off base?

Chris,
Just took me by surprise. I thought that you were such a hard core car guy that any other plastic modeling would be out of the question. Ben does civil airliners, and my other hobby is model railroading. Wonder just how many of the guys have more then one hobby?

  Still cutting , Filling and Thrashing on the 07 Shelby GT500KR Finally painted the Tires and wheels, a very nice set of resin wheels and tires that come with the Resin Wide Body set. Unique as the rivets are on the 2 Piece Rim and there are little holes on the Centers that look like Rivets I have started paint detailing the 427 Cobra Ford Engine and will be adding detail to it as I go. So Far Like It!! I also got a Tamiya Mustang Gt4 Roll Cage that after some minor modifications looks Great too. This what I am looking at for Inspiration I hope to have a similar look.... Chris |

Chris,
Nice job on those resin wheels. One would be hard pressed to figure out that they're not turned aluminum.
Love your inspiration photo above. Sure hope that you're considering that Steel Gray for the paint on your build.

I like the Tamiya Gun Metal TS-38 because it is Dark Grey and has a lot of Red and Blue Metallic flake in it, that will POP when Cleared.. Glosses up real nice too so I think I will be going with that paint. Chris
