VAcountry Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 This build took me about four months. Just working a couple hours on it here and there. I did try my hand with a photo etch kit, but it didn't turn out too good in my opinion. Put plug wires and battery cables under the hood. The paint is Model Master Burgundy Red Metallic with Model Master High Gloss Clear. I couldn't get the foil to go around the door handles right so I said forget it and painted them. It's only my fourth build and it has come out better than the others. Hope everybody enjoys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAcountry Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I did do the interior just stock black with buckles and straight pins for the levers and turn knobs for the a/c and stereo. Did put some embossing powder in the floorboard for carpet but you can't even tell it. I glued the steering wheel upside down too.

tbill Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 very nice build, the color combo is fantastic ! I did a monogram 70 awhile back and used a P/E kit on it, but only used the badges and a few other bits, some of it seemed too large for the car. super looking build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Turned out beautiful, very accurate looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyRed Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 I only have a few models under my belt and if mine comes out better than the last one I'm a happy kat. Your paint looks good, stripes are good, stance is cool and the interior is nice. Can't complain about that! What did you use for the seat belts? They look pretty decent too.

VAcountry Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks for a the positive feedback. I'm happy with all my builds from my first one. Each one I've built has looked better than the last. I just need a steady hand when hand painting. That mess is hard sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Very, very nice indeed! I'd be proud to have built that myself. Well done and model on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim N Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Looks real nice.Two things to keep in mind:The steering wheel will likely be unnoticeable when the model is finished.The second is that you will likely notice the short comings of your work long before anyone else.
