December 2010 update. Been learning how to airbrush and relearning some modelling skills from 25 years ago using the rough rider body that the chassis was wearing when I bought it. I've repaired the original smashed up roof & aquired some spotlights from Anchordriver (cheers Ian!!). Airbrushing is more difficult than I imagined it would be. had a few problems with the brush, the thickness of the paint I was spraying and the paint that was too thin bleeding through the masking tape. Any way after some touching up with a brush & some better masking tape it looks ok now & is ready for some coats of clear & some speed parts decals. This is supposed to be the runner body so that I can keep the SS body looking good when it's finished. It's taken so long to get to this point that I'm not sure that I dare run it!!!

I was considering learning Air brushing earlier in the year, but after a bit of research it seems a lot to learn, so I didn't bother. looks like you've progressed well, thats a nice looking shell. I think you need after shell for the runner..

Love it. What a GREAT paint scheme!! Now you can add two or three vintage sponsor decals and it will look perfect.
