I completed this 1/25 scale AMT 1970 Ford Galaxie 500 four door sedan late last year. It was built from the Diamonds Are Forever police car kit. Paint is Tamiya TS52 Candy Lime Green combined with Dark Green vinyl top.

The end cap from a ball pen, the cap of epoxy container and crazy glue cap got a second life as engine parts(brake master cylinder, windshield washer bottle, & the coolant overflow bottle) for my 1970 Ford Galaxie 500. I also used epoxy cap to make a raised base for the battery so that it sits higher just like the real car.

Nice Galaxie there Racine, the colour is an odd choice but it works well on this build. Really well done. 

Cheers,

Thank you all for the compliment!

@XYHARRYThanks! I wanted this car to wear a shade of paint that was quite popular during the 1970s. One day I would love to build a replica of this stunning '73 Galaxie from Charlie's Angels which has a little more toned down green. The only way to build the '73 would be to get the model from a resin caster, but I wish a plastic kit existed.
