happy grumpy Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Built from the old MPC kit. While we are waiting for the new Revell kit. Not meant to be an exact replica, I did not have a flat hood. The only thing changed was the wheels and tires. I machined the wheels from aluminum. Not the best kit but it will do while we wait for Revell to issue theirs. I remember reading somewhere that the paint was , according to Halecki in an interview, school bus yellow because that's what they had on hand. So I painted camel yellow over grey primer to tone it down a bit to give it that screen shot look. When you watch the movie on a tv screen , the car appear to be a mix of yellow and butterscotch, at least that's what it looks like on my 16 years old LCD TV. thanks for having a look. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1972coronet Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 !!! NICE !!! Even down to the licence plate! I'm planning to replicate the "1972"/"1973" Challenger from the film ("Jill"), a mix of the "auction" car (T-boned car which was cut-apart) and the "airport" car (the one which was sold to Prince Chrysler Plymouth Imperial, then stolen, and finally ground-up at the salvage yard). Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Looks great! I always preferred this version, both movie and car, to the remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if they were to do a remake of Bullitt, they would have the cars jump 300 feet in the air. There were rumors in 2008 that there would be a remake but it did not happen, I'm glad it didn't.
