RestoModGuy Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Just finished a long-time build of the Revell 70 Torino GT. I have to say, one of the best detailed kits I've built. Kept it mostly stock with exception of a custom Emerald Green pearlized and highly polished paint job. Lots of detail, opened the front grill center section, and spent some time on engine compartment detailing, which I actually do not enjoy doing unless I'm in a specific mood. Lowered front and rear suspension to "stance" the car better than stock and added some Aoshima custom 6-spoke wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Caballo Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I like those, but IMHO, the Australian XA/XB Falcons are nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reuhkapelti Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 What a mean machine! Extra points for opening the grill. Nice color and cool stance with those wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigTallDad Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Absolutely stellar paint, and the rest of the model matches the paint job!Opening the grille was also a great approach; did you sand off the backside of the grille to do it?

RestoModGuy Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 Beautiful paint and built model......What is your process for making the operating hood hinges.thanks, larry Thanks! The hinges are part of the kit, they are fixed and glued to the hood and slip into a slot in the firewall. While this is not accurate, it works for me.

RestoModGuy Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Absolutely stellar paint, and the rest of the model matches the paint job! Opening the grille was also a great approach; did you sand off the backside of the grille to do it? Thanks! Yes, opening some grills from the backside works, this one had enough material to sand off the back and still look decent. Took 10 minutes and the result was well worth it I think Edited November 14, 2017 by RestoModGuy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
