Polar Lights '64 GTO

Hi Everyone. Doing some research on here about this kit I came to realize that you kinda like this kit or you totally despise this kit. I set out to just make it look the best I could. Unfortunately I dont think I quite accomplished that goal but I think it turned out alright. Paint is Rustoleum Sail Blue straight from the can with a couple coats of Future.

Redline tire decals are from the Revell '67 Camero kit. And as usual my foil work could be better. It really is my least favorite part of model building, but really necessary for a more realistic look. Anyway the pics.

Nice job on your Rustolem paint! Nice clean build.

I built one of the pre-painted body versions about 10 years ago. I really like they way they look. I lowered the rear suspension and changed the wheels but built it stock otherwise.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Despite the premise, it is not really a snap kit. I guess it is possible, but I had to cut and shave everything to get it to fit. The original AMT 1964 is my favorite for shape and simplicity less detail but it fits nice.

Thanks Bob. Yeah I did an awful lot of gluing and massaging on this "snap" kit:lol:
