1989 Pontiac Grand Prix Turbo

[ModelcarJR]

This is an old Revell kit that I got at a Model Contest raffle. It was donated by the Tri-City Modelers. I was unfamiliar with this group and so I googled it and apparently they are an R/C Aviation Group. I am not sure still what three cities they are from but I want to thank them for their donation that I am going to build. I started by painting everything on Friday, then rubbed out the body, built the engine and detail painted the interior with a brush. No decals in this kit other than license plates and three turbo markings so I had to do some dry brushing, etc. in the interior. So now all I have to do is wheels, windows, chassis and finish. Pretty simple No. 2 kit but it will be out of the closet! Thanks for looking! ?

Looks good in Black!, built the same kit last year,if i remember correctly i had a little trouble with attaching the engine brace and intercooler.I also painted mine a non factory color GP color,medium garnet red.

Yours looks great, Curtis! Paint finish looks flawless! I doubt mine will turn out as nice. I did it in black so I wouldn't have to do all the trim in black. Thanks for your comment!

Great color combo

I like postings of older kits that I haven't seen built before, looking good!

What color are you thinking for the wheels?  Like the box or something else?

Thanks, Steve and Shawn! Shawn, I am going box stock all the way! 

Its finished! The engine braces gave me fits but I modified them and got them in there a little bit cock-eyed.  It went together OK, except for the engine braces, but its out of the closet! Thanks for looking! ?
