Tommy124 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 (edited) 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.

espo Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Beautiful looking paint finish and the color shows the body lines well. Very clean looking chrome trim and the interior color looks good with the exterior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT68 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Nice polishing job as the paint reflects beautifully. I have this kit unbuilt and haven't decided whether or not to add a vinyl top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
