55 Nomad / Two tone CB

Post by Ray »

Thanks to Sandborder I'm going to build this one... ;)

Like I said before I really wanted to do the 68 Bonneville, but there's some pretty bad sink marks (found more today) and it's put me off a bit, so I'll need to park her up for the time been :(

TS-7 Racing white for the roof and a Tamiya Metallic colour thinking possibly Candy Lime Green

Different set of wheels, might go for the 'Pro-Touring' look ;)

Everyone seems to build this kit in the box art colours :roll:

You could use Tamiya TS-20 metallic green for the green, set of chrome T's wheels.

I'm keen to try the Mr Colour metallic green I've got. I think the Tamiya TS20 needs to be darker. Silver roof will look perfect with a metallic body colour.

I used the Mr Colour Metallic Green on the Pinto modified mate, that'll give you an idea, it was painted over a silver base coat ;)

Yeah I just found a can Dark Green Pearl by Testors, that will work with the Titanium Silver yes!
