Kurtis Midget Racer with haul truck and trailer

[sharp]

The past few nights I been decaling and clear coated the 50 Chevy pickup. I also got all the interior pieces painted.

Oh man that is liquid black! Looks awesome. What do you use to get that texture one the interior?

[kyledehart5]

Incredibly beautiful paint work!! Amazing.

The paint work that you bring to the table has always been nothing short of amazing Mike. That black paint looks like you could dive into it. Beautiful work bro!!!

There's just nothing like a mile deep super gloss finish done in Black, and you just nailed it.

Thanks John. Looking at the pic it looks like I used embossing powder on the interior but its only Tamiya XF-7 flat red and dull coated with Testors.

Thanks so much guys, appreciate the comments.

Well guys I'm coming down to the end of this build. The only things I got left to do is wood grain the bed, glue on the bumpers, tail lights, running boards and tow hitch.

Thanks for following along and the nice comments. Next pics will be the finished ones.

Gorgeous!! This is going to look awesome hooked up to the midget

[Steve Zuleski]

Did you send out a hundred midgets out to buff that truck body? Sheesh, I could pick my teeth on that fender, woof! Lookin pretty awesome, Sharp!

[joelw]

Nice job on the interior. And like everyone else I can't wait to see your glamor shots.

Very, very cool build. Where did you get the second set of decals?

[bakster]

Wow, very Cool. The paint and decal work look flawless. Nice job! Super sharp...

[handiabled]

Clean and classy double build! Sheer perfection with your paint work.

[kyledehart5]

Shoot Mike, I just love everything about this. Surely makes me want to build mine sooner than later. And the truck too. What an absolute beauty. You have nailed this entire build. The whole rig is such an eye catcher. Thanks for joining in with us. Can't wait to see your next build.

[joelw]

Just an amazing three part build. All 3 are perfect builds with no issues once finished. Decaling is perfecto at every angle. But the classic Black paint jobs are just beyond what I've come to expect. Super smooth, super shine, and super mile deep reflection is the perfect Perfecta of model painting. A true IPMS National contest winner for sure.

Thanks again everyone for following along and the nice comments.

Arcticwolf- the midget racer kit comes with enough decals to do the racer and the truck.

It did? Mine didn't. Nice work man.

I'm pretty sure that this kit was released 3 different times with 3 different decal sheets.

Here's a couple of pics of the one that I built.
