Looking good Dave. What color did you use? Color. HUMMMMMMMM What color. It isn't painted at all. This is the original 69 Superbee in the Metal Glow plastic. I spent a few hours sanding out the mold lines and polished the bare plastic. I liked the look of the dark blue metallic so I wen't for it. Plastic is a lot harder than paint and takes a lot longer to polish and if you scratch it then it takes a long time to polish again. It is really slicker than the pics show and I will take some pics later to show it. Monogram came out with the SuperBee and the Challenger TA at the same time and both originals had Metal Glow plastic as they called it and the Superbee came with a little packed of Turtle wax. They later issued it again in a lighter blue that was closer to B5 blue. I'm not sure I would want to use that color but I would just have to see. |
