Buick Wildcat 1970 (restoration)

Hi there,

I got this some time ago from a valued modeler-mate of mine. The kit (the Model King re-release) was properly built but the original wheels have been missing because they were being used elsewhere. The model had automotive paint and clear on it, with some orange peel showing. As this kit is pretty rare these days, I decided to give it a go and make the best of it. I sanded the whole body to remove most of the orange peel, after that it got the Micro Mesh treatment, followed by polishing. Wheels are from Pegasus, the exhaust pipes are scratch-built.
