Just a quick update. Now I’ve finally got some clear cote on.
I’ll let it dry for about 24h and then lightly sand it with fine sand paper, and then apply a new cote of gloss varnish.

Plymouth Roadrunner 68 – part 4
After checking the net and also after finding this on the body.
I decided to let it be a GTX 69-ish instead.
I also decided to to some different with the tail lights to make them look a bit more like the 69 tail lights.
I just need to clean things up a bit. Then my idea is to paint the entire tail light area with chrome, let that dry and then paint with clear read and probably black between the rims.
The underside is finished with wheels in place and all. Note to self – glue the rims in the tires first, before trying to put them on the axels.
I also decided to paint paint black on the wheels.
Once the tail lights are sorted, I can put a new cote of primer on.
Plymoth Roadrunner 68/69 – part 3
While checking the body again I noticed something was a bit off. So I cut loose the tail lights and tried to put them in place. They didn’t fit very well.
There’s quite a gap in both the top and the bottom. Turns out, after checking the net, that the body I have is for a 1969 Plymoth and the tail lights is for a 1968 one.
I added some plastic sheet to the inside and a few strips on the top and bottom as well.
I looks better but maybe not perfect!
I glued together the engine room, added the engine and radiator.
I also continued with the underside of the chassie.
In order to have those intakes I had to cut open the hood, which I so carefully had filled on the underside.
Test fit of the body and hood on the chassie.
Next I’ll go over the body with a new layer of primer and if it checks out okey I’ll start painting the body.
Ford V8 G81A – part 2
The engine was built.
The engine, muffler and radiator was painted with stainless steel, and the frame and a few others parts was painted black.
This is just a short update. I’ve taken care of some ejector pin marks that might not be seen in the end, but anyway! 🙂
I also painted a few parts like the seats, tires and rear transmission.
Time to finish the assembly of the chassie.
Ford V8-G81A Funkkraftwagen – Roden 1/35 – part 1
I got this kit from a friend at an build weekend some time ago.
Then last sunday I was at a build meeting with a few other friends. Just a few hours of building and no means to airbrush. So I had to build what I could without painting.
This is the first time I’m building a Roden kit. The first thing that I built was the frame and then the engine and a few other parts. I think it was a bit of unneccessary breakdown of the frame which made it very wobbly and a bit warped.
I finished assembling the engine. Soon time to paint before further assembly.
1968 Plymoth Roadrunner – part 2
This is a continuation from the build meeting post!
I applied primer on the body, chassie and a few other parts.
Suspension and exhaust system was painted with Kaleido Stainless steel. The instrument panel was coated with semi gloss varnish and a few other parts was painted as well.
The interior was assembled and the intrument panel put in place.
The exhaust pipes turned out looking real nice! And the steering wheel was painted black and got chrome spokes.
The radiator wall and the bottom side of the chassie was painted yellow.
Then I masked and painted parts of the chassie black.
I had to correct som spots by hand later. Quite happy with the look!
