Glenyboy Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Having put this off for so long......I finally decided to bite the bullet and give it a go! I used Tamiya black, was tempted to use the metallic but glad with my choice. One of my biggest concerns was the inability to use chrome. I’d purchased some chrome paint, but heard once backed it’d turn silver. But now I have the chrome pens, I’m going to try and mask it off and apply to the outside of the shell.

Glenyboy Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Wow...that was hard, blead through a lot of the Tamiya tape. But looks ok 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenyboy Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Man that looks sweet [emoji106] So you did the chrome with pens?? ThanksYes, unfortunately they have to be used on the outside of the shell. If you use them on the inner, they look a horrid silver colour.I’d probably recommend a liquid mask, the Tamiya tape blead in a few places 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stimpy Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Thanks for that. Yes I’ve had little success with tapes - have purchased some liquid gear now to try... What were the pens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Thanks for that. Yes I’ve had little success with tapes - have purchased some liquid gear now to try... What were the pens? Molotow liquid chrome, get the 3 piece set on amazon. It’s handy to have the 3 different size tips. The price has gone up, I’m sure I paid under £20 a few months back https://www.amazon.co.uk/Molotow-Liquid-Chrome-Special-Germany/dp/B07RS3C1JZ/ref=asc_df_B07RS3C1JZ/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=375473424669&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13759828979342434841&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006603&hvtargid=pla-805083583404&psc=1&th=1&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=79623069551&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=375473424669&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13759828979342434841&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006603&hvtargid=pla-805083583404 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) Looks perfect I saw the other day the fast furious crew actually brought vin diesel one of these cars as a gift. Imagine that as a works gift. Edited June 5, 2020 by RCbutcher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine that as a works gift. Thanks, I suppose it’s pennies to them, but can’t get sod all from my work!I do love a muscle car, but as much as I tried to make it alike...the fast and furious car is a 1970. Kyosho make a 1970, which includes the chrome. Also I couldn’t get the hpi vintage wheels, which are just like the ones from the original.This shell is a 1969 (dukes of hazard), by kamtec. And very basic in comparison to other shells, but for around £20 it’s to be expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
