Straightliner59 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) I finished this in December of 2018. I have recently discovered how to get decent photos of my models, and want to share some new photos of older builds. This was a promo model, that I built curbside. Tires are AMT Parts Pack Goodyears (absolutely beautiful!). Wheels are Minilites, purchased on Ebay. Paint is Testors' Extreme lacquer. Interior features aluminum door panels, scratchbuilt roll cage and belts made of soft metal foil. Harness hardware is leftover from photo-etched sets. I redid all the lights and side markers, to make them more realistic. Questions and comments welcome! I hope you guys don't mind my reposting of old builds. I wouldn't,except these photos are far superior to the old ones. Thanks for looking! Edited July 23, 2020 by Straightliner59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Nice. I had the European version of this many years ago in metallic bronze, badge'd as the Opal Monza here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 (edited) It's great for people like me who didn't see it the first time around, looks really effective and purposeful. Edited July 23, 2020 by Spottedlaurel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have quite a few around here. I have a couple of flat-nosed Vegas, and three or four slant-nosed ones, too. Still have a handful of unbuilt Monzas and promos. I have always loved them.

There don't seem to be very many H-bodies around, anymore. Thank you, Craig! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
