Started on this build last week and have been making progress slowly but surely. I am building the coupe version from the Retro Deluxe release from a few years ago.
Needless to say it has been a time consuming build due to the amount of flash I've had to deal with. The front end has about a half hour or more in cleaning the flash and removing the huge parting lines from the fenders. I also have several hours in removing flash, parting lines and ejector marks from the rest of the parts. The easiest task in the build process was stripping the chrome!
Color will be either Testors Star Spangled Blue or their Icy Blue over Testors Diamond Dust Silver. The interior will be Testors metal flake blue. The body and all other parts will be primed using white and gray Tamiya primers..
