1970 Plymouth Superbird

[Bartimaeus5000]

So far Ive got the body painted in Go Mango with a black top, the interior is unfinished yet, the plan is black with body match trim inside, had a minor setback with the light falling and knocking the pieces over. Will not stop production though. This is only the 6th model I've built so i know its not the best but if i get a little better with each one then ill be happy.

Looking good so far. Keep it going.

Man that had to be disheartening to see. Looking good so far.

[Bartimaeus5000]

Thank you kwt and shoopdog, it was a bit upsetting, but I fixed it permanently after that, zipties do come in handy.

Ethaniel, keep at it, you are correct, each one will get better. Looks really nice so far. I love the winged warriors, they are wicked.

Thank you Geno, I'm hunting for the daytona just to have the pair now.

[shoopdog]

You're welcome. Here's one you might consider. It's a 1/24 scale diecast kit. It would make a good match since the Superbird kit is also 1/24. I have it and bought it off of Ebay for $20. Prices vary though, just keep an eye out and you can generally find one cheaper than a plastic kit like I did. Most everything is already painted, unless you want to change something and or do some minor detailing. Having the body already pre-painted helps a lot as getting the wing painted to match the decal stripe in a plastic kit can be tricky dependent on the base coat color of your model. it can throw the shading of the stripe off a bit making it look mismatched. Just a tip to maybe help. Good luck and most of all have fun. That's what it's all about.

 

 

 

And here's how it looks assembled. Not too shabby.

I like the way you think. I painted one the same color.

[Bartimaeus5000]

Good idea on the diecast, I may have to look into it. And thank you Xingu I debated between Go Mango and Plum Crazy, the orange was needed to brighten the collection up.

Update: It is finished, as much as it can be for now, extra details later.

I like those winged cars, and hopefully I'll get to build mine one of these years?
