got started with my build

[fransjoe]

Hey guys, just started tonight with my first build in a LONG time, I'll try to post some pics when I can. Its the Revell 1/25 '55 Chevy Bel-Air. Although I think I bit off more than I can chew since I went for the Skill level 3 kit. Please be kind on the comments since it's been a while since I built one and my painting I think is not going to be up to par with the pros on here.

I'm not airbrushing since I don't have one and well as any amateur I got too excited on building that I forgot to prime before anything else so, hopefully It'll still look good.

I'm using Tamiya acrylics for the paint and the tried and true testors cement (the orange tube stinker).

Here's hoping on a decent build.

I still don't know what color to use on the gas tank, any ideas?

I usually search google images for a reference image. Nothing like real life as a guide.
