The Man with the Golden Gun AMC Hornet

This was just a quick upgrade to a Jo-Han promo. The paint was in pretty good shape, but the chrome was badly roughed up.  So I cleaned & polished the body, redid the trim (and added what was missing) with BMF, swapped wheels & seats with some from my parts box, gave it clear headlight lenses, and did some paint & decal work:

Thanks guys!  Here are a couple more pics I shot this morning.

 

Bill are the seats a decal? If so who makes them ?

Yes, it was the only way I could figure out how to get that 70s-tastic pattern :)

I drew up all the decals for this build.  The white stripes were printed by Joseph at Fireball Modelworks, and I printed the black stripes and the seats myself. I made one big pattern and cut the individual panels from that. The seats were painted white where I wanted the pattern to show up, so I could cut the decals a little large and have any overlap completely disappear against the black.
