I'm calling it finished ,, would like some correct mirrors but no one makes them.


Curbside so no engine detail. Paint is Tamiya white acrilyc with thier clear. Some PE details from the MCG '76 Caprice set. Did the vinyl roof with the "dry spray" method. The trim around the bottom of the roof is stretched sprue. Kinda hard to see the seams on the top with the white paint.

That's really nice Steve ! The white on white is perfect for it . Can you explain how you did the tinted windshield ? It looks like it blends perfectly from a fog to a dark tint .
