1975 Ford Gran Torino

I decided to build the Revell Starsky & Hutch kit not as the famous "striped tomato". Color is "Orange metallic" (Tamiya) which comes close to the original "Bronze metallic" that was available for 1975 Gran Torinos and was - as I recall - a popular color with 1970s cars.

Thank You very much guys!

@drsnapper55: I always use Tamiya's "Clear Blue" fot the windshield-stripe. I don't mask the "glass" to have the color fading towards the lower section of the windshield.

You should exercise this procedure on some clear parts You don't need anymore before starting off with the only windshield You have in Your actual model-kit.

@Mike 1017: The body received three coats of Tamiya's "Orange metallic" and two rounds of car wax to get a good shine (I did not use a clear coat). After that I applied the BMF (new improved chrome).
