‘67 GTO

[BeakDoc]

This was the El Cheapo MPC kit with the blue box art. It had been in the stash for quite a while. I have been wanting to break out my new air brush since Christmas and decided this kit would be a great candidate for a practice run. I assembled the motor, but left it out as it gets lost in the cavernous and oh so blah engine bay. May use the motor on another project some day. Airbrushed with decanted Testors Graphite Dust and ultra-gloss clear. I still need to fine tune my airbrushing skills, but I’m pretty happy with the results here. All comments, questions, tips and pointers welcome. Thanks for looking.

Nice looking build, that color really fits well on those beautiful curves.  I have this kit in my stash, so I have a couple of general questions.  The wheelbase appears to be a few inches short, the tires do not seem to be positioned right in the wheel openings, or is that just an optical illusion?  Also have the same question about track width, especially the rear, or is that just the small tires from the kit?

Sitting here looking at it live and in Techni-color, the rear wheels sit just about right in the openings. The fronts do seem to be sitting slightly toward the rear, though. The track width has seemed a little narrow to me since the first mock-up. However, I think that the front is more out of whack than the rear. As far as how accurately, According to Hoyle’s, scaled this representation is; there are many cats on this forum, whose knowledge on the subject far exceeds mine, to whom I gladly defer that question.

Great looking interior and the paint really looks good, nice and smooth. The track ? may be a little narrow, but that's the kits issue. I would like to see this in the bright sunlight so you can see the metallic in the paint.

Now that’s sharp!
