Just Finished! This is the reissue of Tom Daniel's "Top Chop" and "Vampire" trike kit.
It was missing one rear wheel,so Chuck -(Starry Eyes)- came to my rescue and casted me a couple of wheels. I primed them and painted them in the new Revell chrome spray paint.Thank you so much for your help,Chuck!!!
This trikes engine is painted in Duplicolor's Hemi orange engine paint. The plug wires came with the kit.The body color is Dupliicolor Gloss white spray paint. I detailed the rear tire lettering with a white jelly roll pen.The seat is hand painted. The other paint details were painted with the little testors acrylic paints except for the brake lights on the air filters and headlight lenses which are painted with Tamiya clear red and clear yellow.
It went together fairly easily,and it was a fun build!!! Thanks for lookin' Todd

Real Nice job Boss! Really! Very tidy indeed man! Does that Chrome paint go over a base colour like Alclad?

Looks Great, Todd
Don't see these built often, and yours looks nice.
Good choice of colors.
Did you like the Chrome paint?
Jim

I sprayed the chrome spray paint over black primer. I’ve never used Alclad, but I would if I airbrushed. ……. I’m a spray paint guy. I’ve had more good luck than bad with spray paint. Todd

Big scale stuff is easy to handle and detail. It just takes more of everything like paint and glue. Not to mention more space. I’m still deciding where to display this big trike! The Revell Chrome Spray paint is awesome! It’s the best chrome spray paint in my opinion.and I’ve tried several different kinds. Todd
