1970 Torino GT

[RestoModGuy]

Just finished a long-time build of the Revell 70 Torino GT. I have to say, one of the best detailed kits I've built.

Kept it mostly stock with exception of a custom Emerald Green pearlized and highly polished paint job.

Lots of detail, opened the front grill center section, and spent some time on engine compartment detailing, which I actually do not enjoy doing unless I'm in a specific mood.

Lowered front and rear suspension to "stance" the car better than stock and added some Aoshima custom 6-spoke wheels

I like those, but IMHO, the Australian XA/XB Falcons are nicer.

That's a great looking Ford.

Great looking model of one of the prettiest Fords to come down the pike.

What a mean machine! Extra points for opening the grill. Nice color and cool stance with those wheels.

Beautiful and SHINY

Absolutely stellar paint, and the rest of the model matches the paint job!

Opening the grille was also a great approach; did you sand off the backside of the grille to do it?

I love the stance and the colour.

My favorite Torino style. You did an exceptional job with the detailing, the paint, the wheels and the stance. A gorgeous build.

thanks, larry 

 

Thanks! The hinges are part of the kit, they are fixed and glued to the hood and slip into a slot in the firewall. While this is not accurate, it works for me.

Absolutely stellar paint, and the rest of the model matches the paint job!

Opening the grille was also a great approach; did you sand off the backside of the grille to do it?

Thanks! Yes, opening some grills from the backside works, this one had enough material to sand off the back and still look decent. Took 10 minutes and the result was well worth it I think
