Thanks, it's an original molding complete with hard rubber tires. No body paint, just bare black plastic with a clear coat over it to seal in the transfers. The red bits are painted, the top and rear cover are bare plastic as well. Monogram molding was top notch in those days.Some nice builds there, particularly like the Black Widow T...
Butteras T Sedan?
I would have gone Buttera too he likes them spindly !

That'll never ride well with the front end coil bound as it is. When will folks ever learn?

Bumper sticker - This is an historic vehicle and only has three speeds....... if you don't like this one you sure as hell won't like the others.

There's a bit of orange plastic showing... Orange Crate?
A kit bashed 1:24 1912 Model T Light Delivery Car (C-Cab) mounted on a Buttera `27 T tub tube frame. Not sure yet on colour but probably Gold base with translucent Red top coats.
Unfortunately the kit has no Brass or Chrome parts but that will hopefully be taken care of with Plastikote Brass spray and clear coat...
Classic combo there Brian

Very nice. It sits just about perfectly.
Regarding the lack of chrome you mention, there's a product called Green Stuff World Chrome. It comes in brush and airbrush form from Warhammer type suppliers. The airbrush type doesn't work for me, spraying a little flat. The brush on is a whole different matter. It really is like chrome. You need to get it on quickly and keep a wet edge. It then flows out in front of you to leave a near perfect finish.
It comes into its own when the brushable stuff is airbrushed. I tried it as an experiment and it worked really well. Here's the test mule, a 1.72 Boeing 707. It's much brighter than the Alclad finishes and it needs no black undercoat. The finish on the Boeing is over polished white, same as the fuselage top. I've sprayed it over bright red and it covers completely. It's good stuff.
It dries semi hard in that it can be handled but it will mark eventually. I haven't found a clear coat that doesn't dull it yet.

I have some of the Green Stuff World Chrome (brush on) Tony, oddly it appears to have a slightly yellowy `brass` look once dried even when tried on different colour base colours!. Maybe it was a faulty batch, who knows!.
Looks good on the Boeing though.
Started to apply some colour, as said, Gold base/Red clear top coats...
