YBlock292 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 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.

YBlock292 Posted November 22, 2015 Author Share Posted November 22, 2015 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).Ludwig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my80malibu Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Very nice work. Overall I think the car could use a little lowering. I haven't had an opportunity to get on of these yet, hopefully soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
