AMT 1962 Buick Electra

Here's another '62 Electra I did over the week, all black with burgundy red interior. I didn't post in WIP as I've already done one, but I have included it in these pictures along with the black one. I love this kit, even after two of these in under a month. I'll be more than happy to do another!

Seeing the reflections in the paint finish shows just how good this paint job is'. Black is one of the harder colors to photograph but with the clean chrome trim this really stands out. I like how you detailed the interior and the paint details in the engine bay and the chassis also looks great.

Cheers, guys. Yeah, black paint hides nothing! The paint is one of my better attempts, though it's far from perfect. Still some orange peel in places but I couldn't polish it anymore without rubbing through, which unfortunately I have done on some of the raised areas. The foiling is a bit scruffy in places because my blade was borderline blunt but I thought I could get more life out of it. Note to self.. foil blunts blades like nothing else, use a new blade for every project no matter how sharp it still feels!
