AMT68 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 (edited) Another build of the mid '90's "Countdown Series" reissue of the 1/25 scale Buick Riviera. Painted in Dupli-Color Toreador Red (Ford color) and cleared with Rust-Oleum Lacquer (green labeled can). Accent stripes along rocker trim is the vinyl adhesive I've used previously. Though incorrect I detailed the parking and front side marker lights using Tamiya clear orange. However I wasn't able to pick out the ribbed sections of those lights or further detail like I could with Testors turn signal amber. I took pictures in varying sunlight and a few indoor shots. This is my third build of this kit with another three unbuilt in my collection including an original issue that has a molded vinyl top.

Claude Thibodeau Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Hi Tom! What a looker, bravo! Can you comment on your use of the green label Rustoleum Clear? I'm curious as to how well it flashes, endures multiple coats stacking, and polishes... Your technique obviously works very well! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
