1) First Cyclone - the one that I didn't clean well enough to get all the release agent off the roof and therefore couldn't get the primer to stick. After scrubbing it with a toothbrush and more Dawn soapy water, Apple Red paint on the roof and rear deck did fill in the bare spots. This car is destine to become the #21 Dave Pearson car.
2) Second Cyclone - having learned my lesson from the 1st build I washed this body with Dawn soapy water and then with Bleche-White tire cleaner. This car is destine to become the colorful #48 James Hylton car.
3) Third Cyclone - started out as a pre-production green body I got from Ken at Proxie. It's mounted on one of the new Pioneer Charger chassis with 'steelie' wheels (also from Ken). It took a lot of work to prep the body which had a lot of flashing to remove.
Last night I put a coat of Tamiya white primer on the body followed by three thin coats of Tamiya TS16 yellow. (Thanks to Chris Walker for the tip on what paints to use.) The photo below was taken after the 1st coat of yellow.
Today's project is to install the grille, bumpers, and windows in the yellow Cyclone and then add the decals (from Ken) to make this the #24 Cecil 'Flash' Gordon car. The decals have already been done on the white & red Pearson car, and I also have them for the Hylton car.
More photos will be shared soon.
