TAIL DRAGGER!!!!
This is a 1/64 scale casting.
These pics are pretty good, but, I can't stress this enough,
they ABSOLUTELY do not do this paint justice!!

The casting was stripped, sanded and polished slightly before any paint was done.
I wanted the nice white walls to show a little more, so, I opened up the rear fender wells!!
Those Fender Skirts just had to go!!
Both sides were carefully matched up and after the grinding was done, all edges were filed and sanded smooth!!!!!

And I thought this one needed some CLASSY Rollers....so....a Jada RoadRats Caddy was kind enough to donate its Rubber Wide White Wall tires and NICE Chrome Baby Moon wheels!!!!! The solid axles required a lottle shortening, and were ran through sections of Stainless Steel tubing, these stainless "sleeves" were then epoxied in place on the Chassis and carefully leveled so that all four wheels contact the surface at the same time!!! A few alterations were also done to the interior and base for these wheels to fit at a very low level!! They roll EXTREMELY WELL and look even better with the Classy White Walls showing in the opened fenders!!!





The paint is ALL AIRBRUSHED (as with all my kustoms) PPG and House Of Color AUTOMOTIVE paint.
PLUS!!! Alclad Lacquers!!!!


It started with a BLACK URETHANE base color, then I added a few flames with Alclad Chrome and two coats of Candy Grandeur BLUE to Candy Cobalt Blue, to Candy Purple was FADED over them!!!! Once this coat was dry, the process was repeated TWO MORE TIMES!!!
WAY KOOL very near SpectraFlame FADE and LOTS OF FLAMES!!!!!!!!!
Finally, Clear was shot on in three coats making the finish VERY SMOOTH!!!! This is SO INCREDIBLY KOOL that words fail to describe what your eyes actually see in person!!!
NO KIDDING...... A lot of the Flames are Ghosty, and the rest will GLOW in some lights and angles of view!!!!!!!!!!!






The base was primed with adhesion promoter, given an ultra smooth Urethane Black base and everything was hit with Alclad Chrome...except...the grill which was polished slightly and nasked off prior to the paint. This makes for a very nice contrast to the alclad chrome finish of the rest of the chassis!!!
Then I Detailed the exhaust tips in black!!!
The tail lights and head lights were painted in with Alclad Chrome and some Candy red finished the tail lights up!!!!
