I need to knock some product builds out of the way. I haven't done any WIP's in a while and I need to make a blog post for a future release. It's another installment of my IMSA Porsche 962 conversion kits, I've sold so many of these kit, I really can't go wrong with making more as the 1/24 Hasegawa 962c kits are so abundant. This thread is going to be my notes and rough draft for the blog. If you have questions about the build-up of this kit, ask here and it will help me make the instructions better.   ANY of the Hasegawa Kits will work with my resin conversion kits |

Its a very easy build, but figuring out what can of Mustang poppy red I should suggest to the customer is the tough part.

Man...I hear you on that Calvin. I have at least three different colors of Poppy Red. I think I would go with the 65 ford Mustang Poppy red....which seems a little too red for my taste. Where I grew up (Northern Calif. in the 50-60's) poppy's were orange. But I think his car was 65 stang poppy red. I think the Scale Auto Finishes Poppy red hits the mark. You might also suggest MCW. Hope this is helpful Calvin

Hope this is helpful Calvin It's the biggest color debate of all time. LOL its no doubt more of an orange My goal is to find easily accessible paint for my customers to buy, preferably a rattle can. I was wondering how this paint was on ebay? www.ebay.com/itm/254588141725?hash=item3b46a2c09d:g:y8UAAOSwHwhbT3HX |

Hi Calvin,
Glad to see you’re back. When I did AJs 67 car I bought a product fromRainbow industries labeled 64/65 Poppy Red AP25. When I did his 77 car I used Testers gloss competition orange 1628. I can not tell the difference.
Dan

I'd say the Foyt cars were red with an orange hue. I'm adamant, however, that when he had valvoline sponsorship in 81-83 it was 'red' not poppy red (consistent with Valvoline as main sponsor). I saw all those cars up close and never saw a hint of orange in them.

I went to the local Auto Parts store and they mixed up a pint of Ford Poppy Red Mustang ( paint code 3 from an article I read about this color) paint for me ready to spray for $11.78 When Applied it was dead on. Matched the DMC decal sheet I got from Germany . I still have a few finishing touches but a very convincing build. I did use the Classic Resins Porsche 962 Conversion for the body but had to scratchbuild the correct Turbo Scoop . All the products were easy and enjoyable to use. I built the Big Scoop Version. I somehow lst the pics so I will re-shoot them and post in a day or so Chris

I can not tell the difference. Dan Thanks, I'm always around, but have been more focused on my other career, lately. I've used Testors competition orange before, it looks good but needs to be put into a dehydrator machine to dry the paint. |

Im doing the Daytona version as it has more pictures available. |
