Hey there, long-time HO guy here. I've always thought 1/32 scale looked awesome, but I've never taken the plunge to move up to the big scales. I guess this is my chance!
This is my first 1/32 car. I'm going with a Pioneer '67 Mustang notchback. My dad has owned a '68 since it was new, so I've always been partial to this body style. (It's the only new car he ever owned. 457,000 miles on it now. But that's a story for another day...)
The chassis basically stock, with the exception of Ortmann rear tires. I've followed the HRW video instructions to free up some body float.
The body is painted in tribute to the 50th anniversary of Dan Gurney's Belgian GP victory. Everyone seems to have their own idea of what color blue to use for the classic AAR cars. I've seen models of the 1970 AAR 'Cudas, for example, ranging in everything from a bright Blue Angels color to almost black. I ended up going with Tamiya TS-64 Deep Mica Blue. To my eye, this color is a too dark, but not too bad. (It's not quite as dark as it looks in the photo). The metallic flakes are very fine, so it doesn't have that "out-of-scale-super-big-metallic-flake" look.
Just a quick intro post. More to come later...
