Started with the Revell Boss 302 which aint all that bad really. Carburetor actually resembles a Holley carburetor quite well and there's plenty of detail parts. The only thing I DON'T like is the molded in oil pan halves. Getting rid of those seams sux.....bad.
Basic engine block/ tranny build up after black basing and shooting MM Dark Blue acrylic on to engine and MM Steel enamel on the tranny and weathering that a bit. I used MM Aluminum enamel on the intake after black basing and then went over the intake with a dry brushing of ground up black pastel.
Didn't have any decals for the engine and I'm glad I didn't because the only thing I would've gotten were the Boss 302 decals for the rocker covers. I contacted Thomas at Speedway decals and sent him pictures of the real Boss 302 to have ALL of the decals that were SUPPOSED to be on this engine cut. The results are going to pay off on the completed engine.
I used Molotow Chrome for the air cleaner lid and Alclad Polished Aluminum for the rocker covers.
Here's after I got the rocker covers and carburetor on. This is before I fabbed up the fuel inlet line from the fuel pump to the carburetor after I got through with the dual feed line on the passengers side of the carburetor. I'm also acquiring the black spark plug wires that I thought I had in inventory. No worries though.......I'll be working around those on other stuff like fabbing up a dipstick for the power steering dipstick tube that I fabbed up for the P/S pump a few weeks ago. ( Hence the tube sticking up out of the power steering pump) just to add another little touch to this engine.
