shoopdog Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I picked this kit up a while back at Hobby Lobby for 7.49, what a great kit in my opinion. Wish I had bought a couple of them. The paint is Tamiya TS78 Field Gray with the TS13 clear coat. Not a factory color but I thought it was fitting for the era. I'm one of probably 3% of modelers who don't foil so trim is all silver Sharpie. Regardless I think it turned out pretty nice. Also Testors tube glue used throughout, my adhesive of choice. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papajohn97 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Impressive job with the silver sharpie on the trim! Did you mask it first or just apply freehand? The color look’s more appropriate than I first thought based on the brochure pic posted above. A beautiful tribute to Vigil Exner’s styling!

I only masked the 1/4 panel moldings to ensure a straight line, all the other trim is free hand. 8 hours ago, oldscool said: Very nice work. Thank you Gerald!

Claude Thibodeau Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi Keith! Great work, and you are right: this is a great kit. Your color choice is dead-on for the era. When I was a kid, there was a Mopar dealer down my street, and I remember those large cruisers on the lot. Great memories, thanks!

Hmann68 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Very nice 300! Great choice of color. In the 90’s my Granddad’s neighbor had 2 57’s! Both absolutely beautiful cars, and man they were impressive going down the street when he took them out. Nice work on yours ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
