martinfan5 Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Here is another one of my poor mans COT conversion, I used Revell's dodge intrepid body, the decals are from Patto's place. These decals where made using his new ink, I must say that they are so much better then the old ink he was using. I used Tamyia paint, with rustoloem primer filler , then made the mistake to put a coat of krylon clear over the decals, it crack the numbers .
slantasaurus Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Nice build, wouldn't it be easier to convert the new AMT COT to Dodge spec than the old Revell Intrepid ???
martinfan5 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Yes it would, but I had the dodge already, and I dont like the toy that is the AMT kit, if was a glue kit then maybe I would use it, and the other reason is that all the decals being made are for 1/24th .

slantasaurus Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Undrestood, I haven't had one of the new AMT's in my hands to see how good/bad they are. I would like to build a model of Bad Brads car though.
martinfan5 Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 I havent either, but all the build ups I have seen on another build is that it really isn't that nice of a kit, but it would be easy to redo the nose on it to make a dodge. The rear quarter panel windows shouldn't be that hard to redo either. On the nose of the COT cars, only the top part of it is different for each manufacture, the bottom is same for four makes.
MarkJ Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) I would also like to build Brad's 2011 Dodge using the amt cot kit but for some reason the decal makers keep making their decals 1/24 instead of 1/25 scale. Believe me there is a big difference. By the way Jonathan you did an awesome job on the build. Could you tell me what tamiya paint you used it looks spot on for color match to the real car.

CorvairJim Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 After tonight you have a reason to build one based on the C.O.T. kit, since the kid won at Bristol - 2nd win to go with a 2nd and 3rd in the last four races. The kid is on FIRE! I've liked him ever since he drove for Dale Jr. in the Nationwide series. He's a competitor from the old school! (And I'm a Chevy fan! )

Second only to the shrub who has 4.
MarkJ Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 I have decided to build Brads 2011 Dodge using the amt cot kit and i will make my own decals for it. If it turns out looking terrible I just wont post it..
martinfan5 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Posted September 30, 2011 (edited) You know you can decals for it at two different places, I am looking forward to seeing a dodge conversion out of the chevy cot I have alot more COT conversions I have done this year, I can post them if you guys want to see them?
