who makes that winchester gray color? mcw has a gunmetal color in enamel that looks a lot like that color,i have 3 mpc 71 kits and thats one of the colors i will be using,your build came out awesome!

Appreciate the compliments. I have been buying my paint from " Scale-finishes".  I really like them and they are sold as base-coat or single stage. Have not tried the single stage yet.

Day off so finished this MPC 1971 roadrunner. Winchester gray. Fireball wheels. Made the front wheels steer-able. Not a very enjoyable kit to build but I am happy with it.

I have been observing this kit for quite some time and in most images I see, the bottom halve appears flush or even wider than the top. Your looks narrower at the bottom. Most people are not seperating the floorboards from the fenders so maybe that is the cause. Either way, your method looks superior to the way revell intended it to be built.

May I ask why the two halfs dont line up horizontallly? Do you chop the bottom half to make it narrower, or is that how its designed? In most pictures I've seen of this kit, the two halfs look like they seat fairly flush horizontally.

[1971 plymouth roadrunner.]

Thanks. The decals were old and did not work well. If I find 1:25 scale decals in the future, I might add them.

[1971 plymouth roadrunner.]

Thanks.

Painted wheels and hub-caps and particially assembled it to see how it sits and I am happy with it. Almost at the finish line.

[1971 plymouth roadrunner.]

Got it polished today. Going to buy some canopy glue for the glass tomorow. Decided on fireball steel wheels and hubcaps. Anybody know how well they fit the amt tire packs?

I know that on gunmetel satellites and chargers , the seat covers and the top half of the door-cards are gunmetal, everything else is black

Another option would be to apply a glossy black, then apply alclad chrome or polished aluminum, but spray at a angle almost paralel to the surface, it will catch the high points and then fade out into the recessed areas. This is what I do in these situations.

Have you thought about grinding down the back-side until the recesses are gone.

Great looking interior. What color did you use? This looks much like the Tamiya Pearl Lt. Blue I have used on my present '67 Charger build. 

Thanks, I believe its a mix of valejo silver and valejo blue

[1971 plymouth roadrunner.]

Wrapped up some projects around the house so can now start alocating more time to my projects. Buffed out the front bonnet just to see finally the color. Interior mostly finished, scratch-built the window cranks and other hardware to give some depth. Dash-board still needs a lil work.

Excellent work! Are those nice wiper arms styrene or aluminum?

Made from pieces of square evergreen.

[1968 Pontiac firebird.]

Only project I managed to complete this year. Many modifications. Made a scoop-less bonnet, scratch built some wiper arms, turned the bucket seats into a bench seat, and modified the door cards.

[1971 plymouth roadrunner.]

Cut the floor-boards frm the "tub", glued the transmission tunnel to the bottom plate and built it up from there with scrap plastic and fillers. Struggling thru the foiling now. Last two sheets I bought are cracking but will need to just accept it and move forward. Ordering rally wheels and hub-caps from fireball.

It looks great but they should've molded a lip at least around the windscreen openings. Would need to glue the windshield in like a butt joint.

unless somebody is willing to 3d scan the originals and 3d print in mass production, these johans will never see the light of day, except originals on ebay. Case closed.

Very clean and nice.  How did you do the pattern on the side spear?  Looks great.

Pattern is already there. Just foiled over-top.

Very nice build, great color scheme and detailing. To me it looks like you re-did the chrome parts with Alclad. Am I correct?

Thanks. Yes. Alcad 2

Thanks for the compliments. Two orginals tires and rear bumper  were defective. Passenger side are from 1970 eldorado and that is why lines look different and wheels dont sit right. I orderednew bumper and wheels but it will be months before they are received.
