This kit was painted, cleared, stripped, painted and cleared again. I became irritated when the blue strobe stripe went down purple. After that, it sat for a long time, but I figured I should finish it and try again later cause it is a really good kit. By the way, that photo-etched hex pattern overlay for the tail lights is one harsh mistress. It got destroyed after the 4th time trying to apply it, and I didn't even bother to wire the engine. Other than that, this kit fell together.

The wheels are from that 1/24 '70 MACH1 kit.

What a very nice build....clean and unblemished. I never really cared much for that car when it was out. I think the Mustangs, Camaro's, GTO's, Chevelle's and the offerings from Chrysler, et all, all over shadowed these, but having said that, you created a very nice looking example of this car. I have the kit and have opened it up many times and have yet to get the motivation to begin it. Yours makes we want to revisit it again....nice job.
