YBlock292 Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Thank You, guys! Yes, it seems that the color came close to "Panter Pink" which was available in 1969. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it seems that the color came close to "Panter Pink" which was available in 1969. I don't believe it was, but I've seen lots of real '66-'69 Mopars painted in the wild 1970 colors like Sublime, Hemi Orange, Plum Crazy, etc., and somehow they seem to pull it off. And so does your VERY well done model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DustyMojave Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Nice build. I don't want this to be mis-interpreted as criticism of this build, so note that in the following I'm offering reference to those who might want to build a more detailed late 60s Barracuda and look at this thread. I'm building a phantom Trans Am race Barracuda from the same MPC '69 kit. Since I'm building a race car, the interior needs to be "stripped". My research into what that stripped interior should look like shows that MPC got the rear sides of the interior WAAAAYYYY wrong. The side panels should extend straight up from the floor all the way to the outer edges of the rear window. With a wrap at the front edge of those panels to the back edge of the side windows. It would have been easier mold-making wise to make it correct, but it would have meant a much deeper mold cavity, thus a deeper mold. That may be why MPC chose to mold the interior as stopping at the bottom of the side window sills.

6bblbird Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Hard to make that kit look good. You did a great job! WF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Beautiful as usual!!!! -if I've already detailed a certain engine, I wont do it again either, I glue the hood down too. For me, I only need one detailed version of ANY engine. this also allows my supplies to go further. OUTSTANDING JOB!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
