Yaks muscle car build - revell 1/25 Camaro z28

[Snowman]

Interesting use of nail polish - first time I've actually seen someone show their application.

Well the decal stripes have gone on beautifully , typical modern Revell decals . Ive just got the air vents to paint black and the window surrounds and wipers /door handles etc. to paint then the body is ready , its just a case of sorting the engine and interior, cheers tony[ATTACH]275914[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]275915[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]275916[/ATTACH]

Looks rather good that. I have some freaky colour nail varnish I bought for a beetle but could not get it to go down. I will follow your lead and have another go one day.

Looking great, love that blue.

Now that body looks sweet truly a delight to see and the polishing you have done really brings out the true colour ( like a good wax on the real thing)
Does the polish have to be sealed afterwards or is it like a final polish coat ( if you know what I mean.

Lobe the colour really do

Cheers robert , i just polished the paint then applied the decals , im going to try a water based car wax for the final shine but im going to try it on the test piece first, cheers tony

The reason I ask on the polish is I'm aware that most Jets would nave a Matt finish but when the early jets came out it seems they had a somewhat shine and gleen to them and I'm wondering once painted I could polish it up?
Advice always welcome

If its for the phantom robert i would try a satin varnish , i think a full blown gloss would maybe be a bit too much in this scale. The trouble with polishing is that if theres not much thickness of paint then theres the danger of going through , on the camaro i gave it about five coats of nail polish ! Cheers tony

Well its been eighteen months since I posted on this thread ! I think i may have gone past the finish date a tad. Anyways ive finally completed this one , dont know why but I struggled to finish this , its surprising how a different genre of model than youre used to can be so testing. So here is the camaro , a few pics here then all the lot on a completed thread later . cheers tony[ATTACH]311833[/ATTACH][ATTACH]311834[/ATTACH][ATTACH]311835[/ATTACH][ATTACH]311836[/ATTACH]
