That model deserves a very special place in your collection!

I love "What if?" builds. This is a really nice one!

That is literally a museum piece! Beautiful!

Very well done! Neat and clean. I have a version of that kit that has been in my stash since the last ice age. I think that I need to get it on the bench!

This is probably not the answer that you were looking for but...... The automotive paint that I use is custom made for me by an automotive paint shop. I give him the PPG code from online paint charts and he mixes up a batch and puts it in an aerosol can. Cost is around $30 per can but you can easily do 3 cars with 1 can. Maybe you have a local body shop supply store that can do the same thing for you?

Well done. I especially like how the carpet turned out.

Thank you all! I always wanted to paint a car in Sublime or Lime light but never found the right subject. I don't really like green 😀 I really like this color now. Too bad that the enamel would not dry. The Automotive lacquer worked really well . I'm thinking about doing a '70 Super Bee in this shade with white stripes!

I really dig " what if ? " builds. This is terrific! Radical but still kind of mild.

Great job. Well done!

EVERYTHING on that car is exquisite! But I must comment on the dash pad. It looks more like vinyl than real vinyl! What paint did you use?

I did this one just for fun. Not overly detailed because I didn't want to spend a lot of time on it. I did add plug wires, heater hoses and RWL tires. Essentially o.o.b.. I did wind up painting it twice. The first paint was an old can of Testor's enamel. After two weeks it was not drying so I stripped it. The second paint was automotive lacquer. It went on perfectly ! I did not try to replicate a vinyl top. The idea was to build as if a two tone paint scheme was ordered from the factory ( you could actually order cars that way in 1971). I must comment that the kit supplied decals were terrific. No problems whatsoever. It's a fun kit. Highly recommended.

Hi Scott! I'm doing ok. If you saw someone that looked like me at Island recently, it must have been a 3d printed copy! I haven't been there for a while.

Once again you’ve hit it out of the park! You did a terrific job on this one!

Next time, before you put your TDS on display, try and find out what the truth is. There is currently a postal strike in Canada. It is completely internal and has nothing to do with US policies.

I literally just finished restoring that same exact kit! Bought it from a model car junkyard. I will post it soon.
