Plowboy Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 (edited) Just finished this one up. It's an old Stevens International issue of the AMT kit. It was a project that I started several years ago and lost interest. Not a lot to it besides the obvious two door conversion. I decided not to add an engine. So, it's just a curbside build. Wheels are from an unknown kit with the kit hubcaps. Tires are the old Good Year hollow Polyglas. Paint is Tamiya TS-1 Red Brown with a coat of pearl and clear. The interior was painted with Tamiya AS-15 Tan. Although the detail and interior are lacking, I think it turned out OK. Something different from my normal for sure! Thanx for checking it out!

Bills72sj Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Very nice "plain brown wrapper". I like what the pearl does to the finish. It is more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'70 Grande Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Really like this build! Can you provide more info on how you converted that body to a two-door and where you sourced that roof from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Great job turning this four door into this two door. The body color and black wall tires reminds me of some of the old NARC units of that era. Nice paint finish and the interior color goes well with it.

Smitty Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 It looks like a real sleeper. You could put a 429 under the hood! A great looking model. Razor sharp execution on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Most Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Love it. I've used the 71 Thunderbird "engine delete plate" in this kit a time or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanx Bill! I really like the Tamiya Pearl Clear! It has a great effect that can't be captured in photos. It works best on lighter colors. In person, it's a little too obvious over this color.

Erik Smith Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Great model. Completely not over-the-top, which I appreciate and like. Boring brown, perfect. Lame steel wheels, perfect. Love the shimmer of pearl on the brown. Awesome work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
