Do you have the correct color decals for it? I think it will be a nice one when your done. I could not have sold that one. Must have been tough to do.
Alex.

Yes this kit comes with three sets of stripe decals, one it gray, one in gold and one in red.Yes it was very hard watching my Aerocoupe drive away.Here is the chassis,I painted it flat black then shaved some rust color chalk over it and dry brushed it over the black.  Here is a sneek peek at the interior....  |

Thanks Bobby, I painted it with Testors Metallic Silver and clear coat.I also painted the head liner and side pannels,I mixed flat white and flat black to get the shades of gray I wanted.  |

Thanks Bruce,this is a nice kit.They did make a few mistakes,the tail lights aren't 100% accurate and the center console and dash aren't supposed to meet but it's still a nice kit.

Here is the engine,I painted the Tranny Pan red because it's red on the SS I have now.I can't remember if it was red on my Aerocoupe.There will be no plug wires on this one,it would be to hard to see them anyway.   |

I painted the wheels with primer and silver and I tried to use the Good Year Eagle GT decals on the tires but they fell apart.  |

Sorry about the missing pictures,I deleted alot of pic's from Photobucket and didn't know it would delete them here too.It is done and I will have new pic's soon.I'm not happy with the decals,they were junk.Some of the stripes broke in many pieces.
